Verse 1:
In the quiet corners of our land,
Twenty-two hearts stop by their own hand.
Warriors return, battles unseen,
Carrying burdens of what has been.
Chorus:
Twenty-two a day, falling like stars,
Heroes in silence, bearing hidden scars.
Call out their names, don’t let them fade away,
In our hearts, they stay, twenty-two a day.
Verse 2:
Underneath the medals and the brave facade,
Lies a soul tired, broken, and scarred.
The war at home, no less real,
A fight against despair, they can’t seem to heal.
Chorus:
Twenty-two a day, falling like stars,
Heroes in silence, bearing hidden scars.
Call out their names, don’t let them fade away,
In our hearts, they stay, twenty-two a day.
Bridge:
It’s more than a number, it’s lives lost,
Families broken, unbearable cost.
Reach out your hands, bridge the divide,
Show them they’re not alone in this tide.
Verse 3:
Every morning’s a chance to change the tale,
To say you matter, you’re not frail.
Together stronger, we can break the chain,
Lift up our voices, alleviate the pain.
Chorus:
Twenty-two a day, falling like stars,
Heroes in silence, bearing hidden scars.
Call out their names, don’t let them fade away,
In our hearts, they stay, twenty-two a day.
Outro:
Let’s stand together, make a new dawn,
For the lost, the hurting, and those withdrawn.
Twenty-two a day, let’s vow to save,
From the silent battlefield, brave after brave.
