Paroles
Verse 1:
I buy the shirt, it was so cheap,
Fairtrade? Nah, too steep.
The ads seduced me, pulled me in,
Sustainability’s just a whim.
I tell myself, “It’s just this one time,”
Then I dismiss the warning sign.
Pre-Chorus:
I know how it could be right,
But the inner coward puts up a fight.
Always standing in the way,
I’m just a pawn in the game we play.
Chorus:
Caught again, I messed it up,
My head knows better, and my heart wakes up.
Every little step counts, bit by bit,
Moving forward, not gonna quit.
Verse 2:
I’m at work, chasing profit and gold,
But deep inside, it feels so cold.
The deal’s a win, but not my heart,
Somewhere, someone’s torn apart.
I think, “That’s just how the game is played,”
But deep down, I know the price is paid.
Pre-Chorus:
I know how it could be right,
But the inner coward puts up a fight.
Always standing in the way,
I’m just a pawn in the game we play.
Chorus:
Caught again, I messed it up,
My head knows better, and my heart wakes up.
Every little step counts, bit by bit,
Moving forward, not gonna quit.
Verse 3:
The neighbor asks for a helping hand,
I shrug it off, “No time, can’t stand.”
A friend needs help, I turn away,
“It’s no big deal,” I hear me say.
I take more than I truly need,
But in my mind, I know my greed.
Pre-Chorus:
I know how it could be right,
But the inner coward puts up a fight.
Always standing in the way,
I’m just a pawn in the game we play.
Chorus:
Caught again, I messed it up,
My head knows better, and my heart wakes up.
Every little step counts, bit by bit,
Moving forward, not gonna quit.
Bridge:
I let the water run for miles,
“Fish can drink it,” I say with a smile.
I sort the trash but not all the way,
“It’s just some plastic,” I think and sway.
But then I see the world in pain,
And realize I’m part of the chain.
Chorus:
Caught again, I messed it up,
My head knows better, and my heart wakes up.
Every little step counts, bit by bit,
Moving forward, not gonna quit.
Outro:
I’m learning slowly, day by day,
Every action leaves a trace in some way.
Not perfect yet, but step by step,
The world shows us its caring… request.
