Warning Bells
Laura Beatriz Hernández
Indie-folk ballad with intimate acoustic guitar
soft piano chords
and subtle organic percussion. Verses stay close and confessional; choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and a warm
roomy reverb. Swell of strings in the bridge
then pull everything back for a fragile final chorus that leaves space for breath and reflection.

[Verse 1]
I used to heal the earth
Forests breathed when I gave my word
Now in the morning
I wake alone
Rising tides where ice has flown
I hear the warning bells a-ringing
Storms are shouting
Rivers singing
[Chorus]
Warning bells
In the hollow of my chest
Every promise that I broke
Comes back heavy in my breath
If the world is a choir
And I'm the one off key
Can I learn this song again
Till the earth forgives me
[Verse 2]
Kids draw suns in shades of gray
Smoke-stained skies on summer days
Fields remember every flame
Ash still answers to my name
I see the numbers climbing higher
Maps re-drawn by flood and fire
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I plant my shaking hands
Deep in soil I tried to spend
Can a seed still trust the palm
Of the one who failed the land [crescendo]
[whispered vocals] I hear the warning
Hear the warning
[Chorus]
I used to heal the earth
Forests breathed when I gave my word
Now in the morning
I wake alone
Rising tides where ice has flown
I hear the warning bells a-ringing
Storms are shouting
Rivers singing
[Chorus]
Warning bells
In the hollow of my chest
Every promise that I broke
Comes back heavy in my breath
If the world is a choir
And I'm the one off key
Can I learn this song again
Till the earth forgives me
[Verse 2]
Kids draw suns in shades of gray
Smoke-stained skies on summer days
Fields remember every flame
Ash still answers to my name
I see the numbers climbing higher
Maps re-drawn by flood and fire
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I plant my shaking hands
Deep in soil I tried to spend
Can a seed still trust the palm
Of the one who failed the land [crescendo]
[whispered vocals] I hear the warning
Hear the warning
[Chorus]
