Fireworks Over Fault Lines
Verse 1
In Belarus the Oreshniks roll beneath a winter sky, Nuclear-capable shadows, you can’t tell what they hide. A treaty’s broken pages drift like snow across the pines, While talk of peace grows fragile and Europe reads the signs.

Verse 2
’Round Taiwan’s crowded waters, warships trace a hardened ring, They call it Justice Mission; live fire makes the rafters sing. Airlines bend their pathways, ports rehearse a tightened gate, Beijing warns the island—and outsiders at the strait.

Verse 3
On Bondi’s open shoreline, Hanukkah by the Sea, A father and his son pulled night across a holy breeze. New Year kept its vigil; the Harbor Bridge went white, Laws tighten at the courthouse as the wounded search for light.

Chorus
We’re dancing on a wire with the headlines at our door, Fireworks over fault lines, prayers along the shore. Hold each other closer when the war drums start to roar— If there’s light enough to find you, there is light enough for more.
Verse 4
In Minnesota’s winter, the cradle funds went still, A viral claim cast targets, and the feds gripped tight the till. Now every state must show and tell before the help can pour, Some say it’s politics; investigators scour the floor.

Verse 5
A drone like quiet lightning kissed a dock in Venezuela, They said a ruthless network stacked its cargo by the quay. The president owned the message, pressure swelling in the sails, Critics raised the Charter: who gave war the right to speak?

Verse 6
Across the rolling dateline, the planet turns to cheer, Towers wear their comets while the quiet drones draw near. A clock beside the river, an arch on grand parade, A gate that once split neighbors lifts its eyes to brighter days. On islands in the Med, soft sparks replace the boom, As midnight opens gently and the world makes dancing room.

Chorus – Reprise
We’re dancing on a wire with the headlines at our door, Fireworks over fault lines, prayers along the shore. Raise your fragile lanterns, make a promise to the storm: If we kindle one another, we can light a brighter morn— Let the countdown find its courage, let the night give way to dawn, Fireworks over fault lines—keep the kindness burning on.
