Standby Skies and Shifting Ice

Verse 1 – Minneapolis

In the winter light of Minneapolis, a name is on the wind, Renee Good, a young mother, and a city pulled thin. A second shot rang later, a Venezuelan man fell, Soldiers wait in Alaska boots, listening for the bell. The Guard stands ready, but the streets are not yet lined, A judge says peaceful voices won’t be gassed or confined. There’s talk of old acts rising, threats from far above, While a small flag-waving chorus got swallowed by the love Of a crowd near City Hall that refused to be afraid— And the Justice men are digging at the choices leaders made.

Chorus

Hold the line, hold each other, When the night leans hard on the day. From frozen roads to distant waters, Hear the people, make a way. The ground may shake, the tides may turn, But we’re more than sparks in the storm. Hold the line, hold each other— Let a kinder world be born.

Verse 2 – Greenland Tariffs

Across the cold Atlantic, a bargaining chip of ice, Tariffs thrown like thunder over who can name the price. Operation Arctic Endurance traced boots on snowy ground, Europe answered in one voice: we won’t be pushed around. Macron called it unacceptable, Starmer said it’s wrong, Frederiksen vowed no ransom as the island sang its song. Ambassadors met in Brussels, a council cry arose, And Nuuk’s streets beat together like a drum that never slows.

Chorus

Verse 3 – Austrian Avalanches

On the high white shoulders of Austria’s silent crown, Warning signs were shouting while the heavy snow came down. Bad Hofgastein to Pusterwald, the mountain’s colder law, Gastein Valley’s broken hush, a truth no one should saw. Gerhard Kremser’s voice was steady: we told you, still it came— A grim and painful lesson with a hard and ancient name. Across the Alps in neighboring lands, the sorrow traveled far, A choir of sirens rising underneath a dimming star.

Verse 4 – Gaza Ceasefire, Phase Two

They call it Phase Two in Gaza, a brittle thread of peace, Technocrats with careful hands, a promise of release. Ali Shaath to steer the wheel, a Board of Peace above, Mladenov upon the ground, watching doves and gloves. The ceasefire’s thin as paper; grief is still in air, The last remains expected back, the crossings locked and bare. Israel wants the weapons down, the rafters to be still, And everyone is counting cost while builders wait to build.

Verse 5 – Seoul’s Verdict

In Seoul a gavel thundered where a president once stood, A verdict on the power used for less than common good. They said he blocked the lawful hand, bent cabinets and pens, Abused a mighty influence to shutter rightful ends. He’ll appeal and call it politics; the court says what it must, Another case still looming with a harsher blade of trust. Impeached after a midnight law, first in decades’ span, A lesson carved in granite: no one stands above the plan.

Bridge

From Minneapolis to Nuuk, From Salzburg snow to Gaza’s wire, From Seoul’s stern bench, the world unspools— And still we carry fire. No one is an island, Not even one of ice, We are threads in the same vast cloth, And mercy is the price.

Final Chorus

Hold the line, hold each other, When the night leans hard on the day. From frozen roads to distant waters, Hear the people, make a way. Let borders thaw, let mountains rest, Let courts and crowds be sworn— Hold the line, hold each other, Till a kinder world is born.

Outro

Standby skies and shifting ice, Avalanche and amber light— Raise your hands, refuse the night, Sing us home to something bright.
