castle walls (interlude)

I just finished a new song that’s very close to my heart. It’s about compassion — not as a rulebook, not as something I want to preach, but simply as a way I’m trying to live my own life. Albert Schweitzer once said that true humanity begins when we feel for all living creatures. That line has stayed with me for years.
This song is my reflection on that idea… on how complicated it can be, how many questions it raises, and how much beauty there is when we try to soften ourselves a little. It’s also a small tribute to people who inspire me with their empathy and activism — among them Albert Schweitzer and Hannes Jaenicke.
I don’t have the answers, and I don’t want to tell anyone how to live. I can only share my journey, my doubts, and my hope that compassion — toward nature, animals, and each other — can still change something.
The music video was created with canva.com.
I hope the song touches you the way the idea touched me.
“To Be More Human” — Song Lyric
Verse 1
I walk the morning quiet,
Footsteps in the silver dew.
I hear a whisper in the branches,
Saying, “What you choose becomes you.”
And I recall a line from Schweitzer,
Like a lantern on the way:
“To feel for every living creature
Makes us human,” so I pray.
Verse 2
But I’m no saint, and I’m no prophet—
Just a wanderer trying to see
How my tiny life might matter
In this wide and wounded tapestry.
I don’t know where the lines are drawn
Between a need and what is right,
But I know that when I soften,
Something in me comes to light.
Chorus
So I try—oh, I try—
To be a little kinder with the time I’ve got,
To let the small things touch me,
Let the hard things make me brave.
No, I won’t tell you how to live your life—
I’m learning mine each passing day.
But I believe that being human
Means letting mercy lead the way.
Verse 3
Some people say we’ve fallen far,
We’ve grown cold in heart and deed.
But I still trust the quiet souls
Who stop to notice when things bleed.
And I think of Hannes on the shoreline,
Guarding creatures of the sea,
Reminding us that every heartbeat
Sings a fragile melody.
Bridge
And I don’t have all the answers—
God knows I barely know myself.
What’s a creature, what’s a calling,
How to balance me with someone else?
But in the ache of all these questions,
A simple truth keeps shining through:
If I can feel with all creation,
Maybe I’ll belong to it too.
Chorus (rising)
So I try—yes, I try—
To be a little softer where the world is rough,
To hold the earth more gently,
Like it’s borrowed, not possessed.
No, I won’t tell you how to walk your path—
We each must find our own way blessed.
But I believe that being human
Means giving more than we take left.
Outro (quiet, like a prayer)
In the stillness of December,
Or the heat of any day,
Let compassion be the ember
That will not burn away.
And if my heart grows open,
If my life grows brave and true—
Then I’ll thank all living creatures
For teaching me what humans do.
