Under One Sky: Protests, Tariffs, and Testimony
Verse 1
In Minneapolis the candles meet the cold, a name on a sign, Renee Good, we’re told. Sirens hold their breath while troops wait in the wings, the Guard stands ready but the street still sings. A judge said no to cuffs on peaceful hands, no gas on the crowd in the winter stands. But appeals rise up like smoke in the light, a church was stormed, and the law asks why. There’s talk of old acts no one wants to say, last resort shadows on a restless day.

Chorus
Under one sky, we’re tangled in the wire, headlines like thunder, hearts like fire. If we can keep the talk alive, maybe the storm will let us drive. Hold fast, lean in, let truth be tried— we rise or fall under one sky.
Verse 2
Across the ocean, tariffs draw a line, over ice and rock where the glaciers shine. A bid for a land that won’t be sold, wrapped in a missile’s shining dome. Allies answer with a steady flame, standing with Greenland, calling the game. Brussels gathers, voices braid as one, most who live there want the deal undone, and here at home the appetite runs thin— a bargain the wind won’t carry in.

Verse 3
In London’s stone halls the gavel’s clear, Harry walks in with a lion’s ear. Not alone in the light, friends by his side, they say the walls had hidden eyes. Bugs in the rooms, hacks in the night, files laid open for a price. The paper swears the claims are lies, the case will run, he’ll testify. He’s carried wins and settled scars, but family’s north beneath other stars.

Verse 4
The sun threw a fist and the magnet sang, green rivers over fields where no lights hang. Phones go quiet, the compass sways, power hums in uncertain ways. One of the fiercest in a long, bright run, a storm-washed chapter from a restless sun. Yet strangers on porches, faces upturned, read the sky like a prayer well-learned.

Verse 5
Davos lifts a glass to a threaded theme, a spirit of talk in a fractured dream. Leaders, makers, dealmakers too, with a stage set wide for an anxious view. They weigh the weight of code and clay, of jobs and justice, war and pay. A risk report hums a single note— the fault lines run where markets float. The founder’s gone, new hands steer, names in the chair for a thinning year.

Verse 6
The Fund writes softly of a shifting road, of fronts once stacked and now unload. Deals cooled fury but left the strain, uncertainty tapping the windowpane. Markets flinch at the Arctic word, steel and fuel both feel the surge. Some say clocks might bend for talks, that this is not a usual walk. The charts breathe shallow, then breathe deep— we count our courage more than sleep.

Bridge
From courthouse steps to northern light, from boardroom glass to streets at night, from fjords of ice to river towns, we pass the echo hand to mouth. Let signals clear and sirens fade, let anything broken choose to be remade.
Final Chorus
Under one sky, we’re tangled in the wire, headlines like thunder, hearts like fire. If we can keep the talk alive, maybe the storm will let us drive. Raise your voice, let justice cry, let the lights outrun the battle cry. Hold fast, lean in, make wrongs run dry— we rise or fall under one sky. Under one sky, under one sky.
