Honky Tonk Man

02 Whatever It Is - Zac Brown Band

“When Hearts Grow Cold” was born from the uneasy feeling that the world’s moral compass is spinning out of control. It’s not just about politics or religion it’s about how easily good people can be led astray when fear wears the mask of faith.

The song echoes the warnings we’ve heard before from history, from scripture, from the quiet voice inside that tells us when something isn’t right. It asks what happens when mercy becomes weakness, when pride replaces compassion, and when people start believing that cruelty can somehow be holy.

Told in the spirit of a modern-day psalm half sung, half spoken it’s both a lament and a wake-up call.
The tone is dark, prophetic, and raw, but underneath it all runs a current of grace: the belief that even in the ashes, love still remembers our name.

Because in the end, when hearts grow cold, it’s the small acts of kindness the ones no one sees  that keep the fire alive.


[Intro – Spoken over low acoustic guitar and faint drum]
There’ll come a day when truth walks out the door
And the crowd cheers the lie because it feels like before
But love won’t die it just hides for a while
Waiting for the brave hearts to reconcile

[Verse 1]
The children cry beneath a broken sky
While prophets turn away their eyes
The righteous bless what they should condemn
And mercy waits outside with them

[Verse 2]
They traded grace for power and fame
Wrapped their greed in a holy name
And every prayer that rose in smoke
Was twisted by the words they spoke

[Chorus]
Is this the time they warned us of
When hearts grow cold and hate wears love
When the beast don’t roar, but shakes your hand
And blinds the souls of a faithful land

[Bridge]
We were told the signs would come softly 
Not thunder, not flame, but silence in the temple
When gold would glitter brighter than good
And the shepherds would sell the fold

[Verse 3]
They built their towers, called them peace
While justice fell to her knees
But even in this shadowed hour
The seed of light still holds its power

[Final Chorus]
Is this the time they warned us of
When hearts grow cold and hate wears love
If this is the storm before the dawn
Then hold the light, and carry on.

[Outro]
Don’t bow to fear… don’t trust the fame
Remember love still knows your name
The meek will rise, the proud will fall
And mercy will outlast it all.
