Let Everybody Be Loved

[Verse 1]
I want every stranger held gently,
Every locked door opened with care.
I want us asking better questions,
And leaving room for answers there.
I want the sharp words swallowed slowly,
The small apologies said out loud;
A world that makes a place for everyone,
Not just the fearless in the crowd.

[Pre-Chorus]
I know a wish can’t change the weather,
Or mend a wound by wishing hard.
But every mile begins with knowing
Which way you mean to turn your heart.

[Chorus]
Let everybody be loved,
Let everybody stay curious,
Let kindness be a thing we practice
When the easy thing is closing up.
I know the dream is bigger than us—
Still, we can move a little closer.

[Verse 2]
Maybe no map reaches perfect,
Maybe the road keeps bending away.
Still, ideals give our hands a direction,
A reason to try again today.
Ask who’s missing from the table.
Hear the story to its end.
Make a little more room for wonder;
Be the first one to call someone friend.

[Bridge]
Not there yet.
Not giving in.
The world we want
Can start within.

[Final Chorus]
Let everybody be loved,
Let everybody stay curious,
Let kindness be a thing we practice—
One small step, and then another.
