One day you blink an eye and the
Whole world is paralyzed and we
All stop to staralyze as we
Slow fade to normalize and we
Make up a paradise in our
Own way at least we try but we
wake up to realize that we
Mask up to go outside

And we ask ourselves
how long can we endure these times

Today I pray that we're stronger
And have the will to go longer
And live each day for the moment
and as we love may we show it
Even in these times

There's a fear of the great unknown anna
Fear of being alone so we
Must try to understand that we
Can't do it on our own It's a
Cliche I know they say there's a
Reason for everything now uh
God showed us how to love and the
Rest doesn't matter much

And we ask ourselves
how long can we endure these times

Today I pray that we're stronger
And have the will to go longer
And live each day for the moment
and as we love may we show it
Even in these times
ooooo ooooh
Even in these times
ooooo ooooh
Even in these times
ooooo ooooh
Even in these times

These Times

"When the World Gets Loud" is a quiet, thoughtful acoustic ballad rooted in the same heartbeat as Mike Baker’s blog post, “When the World Gets Louder, Get Kinder.” Written in a fingerpicked, singer-songwriter style, the song was born out of a growing tension Mike felt — the volume of the world rising, the noise getting sharper, and the emotional cost of it all. Rather than raising his own voice to match it, this song became his way of answering it with grace.

It’s about choosing gentleness even when it’s hard, speaking softly when the world shouts, and standing your ground not with volume, but with quiet conviction. The lyrics reflect that spirit of calm defiance — the idea that kindness isn’t weakness, it’s courage. Just like the blog, this track is a reminder that when the chaos swells, there's strength in stepping back, listening, and leaning into empathy.

This is a song for long drives, porch sits, and soul-deep exhales. A song to remind yourself: you don’t have to get louder. You just have to get kinder.


When the World Gets Loud

I'LL TAKE THE RISK WITH YOU

[Verse 1]
We’ve both been burned, we’ve both been bruised
Taught by the past what we stand to lose
We’ve built our walls, we’ve locked our doors
But love keeps knocking like it’s been here before

You look at me like you're afraid to fall
But I see more behind that wall

[Pre-Chorus]
So take my hand, let's chase the light
Even if it fades by morning’s sunrise

[Chorus]
I'LL TAKE THE RISK WITH YOU
If it’s love, it’s worth the fight
Even if we crash, we’ll burn in flight
No parachute, no map, no clue
But I’d still dive into the blue
I’LL TAKE THE RISK WITH YOU

[Verse 2]
This road is jagged, it’s not paved in gold
But I’ll walk it with you, brave and bold
Hearts don’t heal by standing still
Sometimes you’ve got to feel the chill

You say you’re scared to love again
But I’d rather fall than just pretend

[Pre-Chorus]
Let’s write a story raw and true
No guarantees — just me and you

[Chorus]
I'LL TAKE THE RISK WITH YOU
If it’s love, I want it all
Even if we rise just to fall
No second-guessing what we do
I’ll break the rules, I’ll break in two
I’LL TAKE THE RISK WITH YOU

[Bridge]
Let the world say we were fools
Hearts like ours don’t play by rules
I’d rather lose than never try
I’d rather ache than say goodbye

[Chorus]
I'LL TAKE THE RISK WITH YOU
If it’s love, it’s worth the pain
Even if we dance in the pouring rain
No safety net, just skies of blue
I'll leap if you say you want it too
I’LL TAKE THE RISK
Yeah, I’ll take the risk...
With you

I'LL TAKE THE RISK WITH YOU

[Verse 1]
How do you say I love you
When you know they’ll look away?
When the moment’s passed, the door is shut
And words just float astray?
How do you shout I love you
When it echoes back as shame?
When silence hugs the air so tight
You’re scared to speak its name?

[Chorus]
So I hold it like a secret
Buried deep beneath my skin
A truth too loud to whisper
But too sacred to give in
If I say it—will it vanish?
If I don’t—will it remain?
How do you say I love you
When it only brings you pain?

[Verse 2]
How do you say I love you
When the one you love won’t hear?
When “I miss you” sounds pathetic
And “I’m sorry” feeds their fear
How do you still keep hoping
When the facts all say you can’t?
When you’re dancing with delusion
But you never learned to plant?

[Chorus]
So I hold it like a secret
Carved in pages I don’t send
A prayer I tell the night sky
That will never reach its end
If I scream it—will it cheapen?
If I write it—will it fade?
How do you say I love you
When there’s nothing left to say?

[Bridge]
Why do words mean more to some
And to others just feel light?
Why does love become a burden
When it once had given flight?
Why does pain become a prison
When it only wants release?
Why can’t we just say I love you
And let that be our peace?

[Final Chorus]
So I sing it through the silence
In a song you’ll never hear
But it’s all I have to offer
And it’s all I hold dear
If I never say I love you
Know it still beats in my chest
How do you say I love you
When your heart won’t let it rest?
