(Verse 1)

(Verse 1) From the neon streets of Seoul Cameras flashing, words so cold Laughing at the islands and the heat Calling them stories old From the shores of Malaysia To the lights of Bangkok From Jakarta down to Manila They heard it loud, they took a stand (Pre-Chorus) You can’t throw shade across the sea And think the tide won’t rise Voices echo unity Fire behind their eyes (Chorus) Oh, you laughed on a global stage Thought the silence would obey But the islands formed a wave And washed the words away From the jungle to the skyline From the temples to the bays Seablings hearts don’t break in silence We answer back in flames (Verse 2) Trending tags and headlines burn Backlash rolling like monsoon rain From Vietnam to Singapore They won’t be mocked again Different tongues, but one reply Respect is not a game Across the South China tide They’re proud to claim their name (Pre-Chorus) You can’t build fame on someone’s pride And think there’s no cost to pay Every word you let slide Comes back another day (Chorus) Oh, you laughed on a global stage Thought the silence would obey But the islands formed a wave And washed the words away From the jungle to the skyline From the temples to the bays Seablings hearts don’t break in silence We answer back in flames (Bridge) No more whispers in the dark No more jokes that cut so deep From Thailand to Philippines Promises we keep We rise in rhythm, side by side Culture strong and free Respect goes both directions Across every sea (Final Chorus) You can shine without the shade You can lead without the blame We don’t want a war of words We just demand the same From neon nights to golden shores Let dignity remain Seablings voices standing tall In sun, in storm, in rain. (woman whispering) knetz, don't mess with Seablings
