no mock and scoff

No Mock and Scoff (Verse 1) The world is spinning fast, everybody's got a path Some are quiet, some are bold, every story to be told But I hear the whispers rise, see the judgment in the eyes A quick critique, a hurried sneer, planting seeds of doubt and fear. Why the need to tear things down? Just to wear a hollow crown? (Pre-Chorus) Before you fire off that retort, before you make that cutting sport, Pause and let the moment breathe, consider what the truth might weave. That fragile heart, that gentle soul, is trying hard to reach its goal. (Chorus) No mock and scoff, we gotta turn it off, Lay down the stones, let's build a bridge across. No cheap shots thrown, let kindness be our song, We're all just pilgrims trying hard to belong. Take the high road, watch the ego fall, No mock and scoff, there's room enough for all. (Verse 2) She tripped up on the very line, he fumbled for the perfect rhyme, And instantly the laughter rings, like brittle, unkind little things. You didn't walk a mile in their shoes, you don't know what they had to lose, That effort cost them everything, the courage that the moment brings. Who are we to stand apart, and criticize a beating heart? (Pre-Chorus) Before you fire off that retort, before you make that cutting sport, Pause and let the moment breathe, consider what the truth might weave. That fragile heart, that gentle soul, is trying hard to reach its goal. (Chorus) No mock and scoff, we gotta turn it off, Lay down the stones, let's build a bridge across. No cheap shots thrown, let kindness be our song, We're all just pilgrims trying hard to belong. Take the high road, watch the ego fall, No mock and scoff, there's room enough for all. (Bridge) It takes more strength to understand, than to point a mocking hand. It takes more grace to hold your peace, and let the small divisions cease. Lift them up, don't drag them down, trade the smirk for a helping hand, let's turn this thing around! (Guitar Solo or Instrumental Break - builds intensity then softens) (Chorus) No mock and scoff, we gotta turn it off, Lay down the stones, let's build a bridge across. No cheap shots thrown, let kindness be our song, We're all just pilgrims trying hard to belong. Take the high road, watch the ego fall, No mock and scoff, there's room enough for all. (Outro) Yeah, there's room enough for all... Just let the judgment go... No mock and scoff. (Fade out)
