[Verse 1]
Hey, hi, between you and me
Birthdays don’t mean much, honestly
But I’ve got a wish I can’t keep in
So I’m letting it out, soft but clear within

Not for things, not for praise
Just one truth I feel these days

[Chorus]
Peace that grows from trust
Not power, fear, or hush
No mask, no game, no war disguised as law
Just peace that grows from trust
And honest is always a must
In my book of joy, that’s what matters more
Yeah, peace matters more.

[Verse 2]
If you’re cheering on cruel men in suits
Twisting lies into law like forbidden fruit
If you still think silence means you’re wise
Then you might be mistaking peace for disguise

I won’t fight… but I won’t pretend
I choose peace that doesn’t bend.

[Chorus]
Peace that grows from trust
Not power, fear, or hush
No mask, no game, no war disguised as law
Just peace that grows from trust
And honest is always a must
In my book of joy, that’s what matters more
Yeah, peace matters more.

[Bridge] 
It takes courage to ask
Humility to hear
To reach through the awkward
Instead of disappear
So if you’re unsure, just knock on the door
’Cause peace don’t bloom when we keep the score.

[Final Chorus]
Peace that grows from trust
No echo chamber hush
No gaslit grin pretending not to see
Just peace that grows from trust
Where curiosity’s enough
To build a better “we”,
That’s what matters more to me. 



[02] Peace Matters More - GROWsutra Gipsy Burlesque INDIE

written & prod. by me :)

All I wanted
All I needed
Was to want you
Feel like I need you

To hold me
Just Hold her
Unlock your door
Give me more

Anything 
Im used to the drout im used to the cold now
Gasping still hardly breathing

Who are we
The same blood flows through me
It’s you that don’t know me
At all

Who is she
My mother my sister 
We bet who’ll be quicker to fall

All you wanted
All you asked for
Was forgiveness 
Can i permit this 

All these years
Of weather of malice of sadness
How to feel better

Who are we
The same blood flows through me
It’s you that don’t know me
At all

Who is she
My mother my sister 
We bet who’ll be quicker to fall

Who still needs it
All I needed
Was to want you
Feel like you wanted me too

same blood

Manish lives currently in Switzerland where he runs a music academy in his spare time. "Important is people know what is what when it comes to sound, Indian music, mantra and Indian spirituality. I share that, what i learned from genuine sources, this is the least respect that Indian music deserves and will always deserve."
