One Room, One Face

[Intro]
One breath, one room, one human face
No wall can make us less the same

[Verse 1]
You drew a border on the floor
Said my name like a warning sign
But I have heard that fear before
It only grows when we feed the lie

Your hands are warm, your eyes are tired
You carry losses I can’t see
Different prayers, the same desire
To leave a kinder world to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
Put down the stone
Open the door
What we protect
Can become a war

[Chorus]
Choose love when the room gets loud
Choose grace when the crowd turns proud
No one is born to stand alone
We make a home from what we share

Choose peace when the old words sting
Choose room for the trembling wings
Your future is tied to mine
Let every heart cross every line

[Verse 2]
A mother waits beside the gate
A child asks why the colors fight
We can repeat the hands of hate
Or teach them how to make things right

Bring every language to the table
Bring every story, scar, and song
A bridge is only wood and cable
Until we choose to walk it strong

[Pre-Chorus]
Put down the stone
Open the door
The life we save
Could be our own

[Chorus]
Choose love when the room gets loud
Choose grace when the crowd turns proud
No one is born to stand alone
We make a home from what we share

Choose peace when the old words sting
Choose room for the trembling wings
Your future is tied to mine
Let every heart cross every line

[Bridge]
I won’t become what wounded me
I won’t pass fire hand to hand
If you can hear this, stand with me
We are the answer that we planned

Not the same, but side by side
Not erased, but recognized
Let the locked gate lose its name
Let compassion break the chain

[Final Chorus]
Choose love when the whole world shouts
Choose grace and turn the fear around
No one is born to stand alone
We make a home from what we share

Choose peace when the old words sting
Choose room for the trembling wings
Your future is tied to mine
Let every heart cross every line

[Outro]
One breath, one room, one human face
No wall can make us less the same
Love is not soft when it stands this tall
It is the strength that welcomes all
