[Intro]
[Verse]

**Where Do We Start?**
0:11
[Verse 1]
0:20
Where do I begin when the veil starts to tear?
0:20
Seeing is believing, but the mirror’s a snare.
0:24
They paint the world golden, hide the strings in the air,
0:26
Secret hands pulling, but the truth’s standing there.
0:29
Demoralized visions, demeaning the fight,
0:32
Lies dressed in daylight, stealing hope in plain sight.
0:34
I’ve prayed through the chaos, begged for a light,
0:37
Now the game’s almost over—end of the night.
0:40
[Chorus]
0:42
Where do we start? Eyes open wide,
0:42
Truth in plain sight for the seekers who try.
0:45
Wars keep on raging, the stage is set high,
0:48
Savior, come closer—hear the world’s cry.
0:51
We’re all made in His image, every shade, every eye,
0:53
Free will’s the fire, not chains from on high.
0:56
No more sweet lies, no more darkness we buy—
0:59
Where do we start? The change is alive!
1:02
[Verse 2]
1:10
Shocking how misleading the screens and the sound,
1:10
Hiding the agenda, spinning us round and round.
1:13
Good and bad tangle in every town, every ground,
1:15
Nations rise, nations fall on shaky, cracked ground.
1:19
Neighbors turn strangers, colors divide the line,
1:21
But we’re one human family, blood the same kind.
1:23
I’ve followed the clues through the laughter and tears,
1:26
Won’t swallow the poison, won’t bow to the fears.
1:29
[Chorus]
1:32
Where do we start? Eyes open wide,
1:32
Truth in plain sight for the seekers who try.
1:34
Wars keep on raging, the stage is set high,
1:37
Savior, come closer—hear the world’s cry.
1:40
We’re all made in His image, every shade, every eye,
1:42
Free will’s the fire, not chains from on high.
1:45
No more sweet lies, no more darkness we buy—
1:48
Where do we start? The change is alive!
1:51
[Bridge]
1:55
Why blame the devil when we choose the path?
1:55
Why ask God “why” when He gave us the map?
1:57
Free will’s the gift, not a program or trap,
2:00
We’re not Matrix puppets, we’re souls in the gap.
2:03
He gave us the teachers, the words, and the signs,
2:05
We ignored every lesson, crossed every line.
2:08
The power they hold is the power we give—
2:11
Believe in the lies, or stand up and live.
2:14
[Verse 3]
2:16
Planet keeps spinning, history laughs in our face,
2:16
Powerful grinning while the suffering chase.
2:22
But I’m laying facts bare, no more hiding this place,
2:26
Uncover the tricks, walk in courage and grace.
2:29
Every color, every nation, under the same sun,
2:31
Treat each other with honor—God’s work ain’t done.
2:34
We face what we’ve chosen, the results of our run,
2:37
But the end of the game means a new day’s begun.
2:40
[Final Chorus – Outro]
2:44
Where do we start? On the edge of the change,
2:44
Creator or destroyer—who do you claim?
2:47
Free will’s the answer, forgiveness the flame,
2:49
We’re all human family—call out His name.
2:52
No more living in evil, no more silent shame,
2:55
Truth’s in plain sight—let it light up the way.
2:57
Where do we start? Right here, right now, today…
3:00
The change is alive—let it carry us home.
3:06
*(Soft fade with echoing vocals: “Where… do… we… start?”)*
