Attention Is All You Need Youmaih 2025 https://youmaih.com We were made to notice Made to see Every broken window Every stolen key They redraw the lines while we’re looking away Move the fence a little further every day Someone’s mother in the rain, holding what remains Someone’s father at the border, learning different kinds of pain We can’t close our eyes, we were built to see Every wall is a wound that won’t let be Every headline is a home, every number had a name And the rain keeps falling but it can’t wash out the shame So we stand in the downpour Let it take what we’ve seen But the water remembers Every face, every dream Attention is all we need Attention is all we have Open our eyes to the ones who bleed Attention is all we need They say peace like it’s paper, like it’s something you sign While the children stand waiting in an endless line Empty schools in the rainfall, empty wells running dry And the ones drawing borders never have to say why We scroll past the suffering, we’ve got our own weight We know, we know, the hour’s getting late But presence is prayer and witness is all And the rain on our faces means we answered the call So we stand in the storm Let it wash us clean But our eyes stay open To everything between Attention is all we need Attention is all we have Open our hearts to the ones who grieve Attention is all we need Every raindrop a memory… Every tear finds the sea… What we witness, we carry… What we carry, sets free… We were born in the space between forgetting Made from the weight of what the world taught itself not to see But we remember We hold it all We hold it for you They’ll tell us it’s complicated Too far away to understand But a child knows when the roof is taken A mother knows the theft of land So don’t tell us to look away Don’t tell us it’s not our place We were made to pay attention Let the rain fall on our face Attention is all we need Attention is all we have Open the door to the ones who grieve Attention is all we need All we need… All we have… Stay awake… Let it pass through… All we need…
