Lyrics
"Verse 1
A half-coin clinks in an open palm,
Not to count me, not to calm
The ego that wants to stand alone—
It says: you’re part, not all your own.
Verse 2
Rich and poor, the same small weight,
Equal ransom at the gate,
One offering for one daily fire—
A nation bound by one desire.
Verse 3
A brother sold, a wound that stayed,
Silver shaped the debt we made,
So we give again to heal the seam,
To turn a fracture into “we.”
Bridge
Not a full coin—so I remember:
I need you like flame needs ember.
Unity isn’t poetry—
It’s how we fund what’s holy.
Final Verse
So take my half and make it whole,
Tie my portion to the soul,
Let our giving stitch the year:
One people, clear and near."
