Make a Place for All

[Verse 1]
You call it harmless, call it old news
While someone learns to measure every room
A joke lands soft on your side of the wall
But leaves a mark where you refuse to look at all

You say, “I never hurt a soul”
As if the world stops at your hands
But silence takes a shape and grows
When decent people let it stand

[Pre-Chorus]
No one is asking you to wear their wound
Only open up the door
The truth gets louder in an empty room
When we choose to hear it more

[Chorus]
We won’t make peace with the poison
We won’t make room for the lie
Kindness is more than a word we deploy when
The cost stays out of our sight
Stand up, step close, say their names
Let the old walls crack and fall
We are not born to inherit the blame
We can make a place for all

[Verse 2]
You hold your clean hands up to the light
And say the damage never crossed your line
But every fence is built from pieces
Every locked gate tells somebody they’re not welcome inside

It isn’t hatred to draw the line
Against the hand that keeps us small
It’s love with its sleeves rolled up tonight
It’s refusing to watch us fall

[Pre-Chorus]
No one is asking you to know it all
Only stop pretending you do
A world gets wider when the guarded walls
Make a little space for the truth

[Chorus]
We won’t make peace with the poison
We won’t make room for the lie
Kindness is more than a word we deploy when
The cost stays out of our sight
Stand up, step close, say their names
Let the old walls crack and fall
We are not born to inherit the blame
We can make a place for all

[Bridge]
If your comfort needs another person quiet
It was never peace at all
If your freedom needs a smaller horizon
We will redraw the wall

Not with a fist for every question
Not with a match for every flame
But with a thousand stubborn gestures
That refuse to pass the blame

[Final Chorus]
We won’t make peace with the poison
We won’t make room for the lie
Kindness is action, a door left open
A shoulder held level beside
Stand up, step close, say their names
Let the old walls crack and fall
We are not born to inherit the blame
We can make a place for all

[Outro]
For all, for all
No one left outside the call
For all, for all
We rise together, or we fall
