Open Door Policy

[Verse 1: Female]
If I had a house with a hundred doors
I’d leave every latch turned loose
Set a place for the ones I adore
And a blanket warm from my room
You could laugh in the kitchen, rest in the hall
No one keeping score of the space
I would make enough room for us all
And still know each face

[Pre-Chorus: Female]
But you draw a line when I reach for your hand
Say my love needs a lock and a name

[Chorus: Duet]
I’d build a home for every heart I hold
Room to come and go, room to still belong
Share my warmth, let the whole house breathe
No one owned, no one asked to leave
But love gets claimed like a deed in the ground
So we dream of a door that won’t shut us out
I’d build that home if the world let it be
All of us here, all of us free

[Verse 2: Male Rap]
You say “mine” like a fencepost driven deep
Like a promise is a key you get to keep
Every kindness gets a border, every touch gets filed
Every open hand gets read as running wild
I’m not asking for a throne or a title on the wall
Just a table with enough room when the late ones call
But the rules say choose a side, draw the map, hold tight
So the house in my head stays lit out of sight

[Pre-Chorus: Female]
If I reach for you, must I close every door?
Can’t a heart make room for more?

[Chorus: Duet]
I’d build a home for every heart I hold
Room to come and go, room to still belong
Share my warmth, let the whole house breathe
No one owned, no one asked to leave
But love gets claimed like a deed in the ground
So we dream of a door that won’t shut us out
I’d build that home if the world let it be
All of us here, all of us free

[Bridge: Male Rap, Female answers]
[Male] No deed, no fence, no numbered key
[Female] Just a chair pulled close when you need to breathe
[Male] No claim that turns a welcome to a chain
[Female] Just warmth enough to share the cold days
[Duet] Maybe somewhere hearts can stay unowned
Maybe someday no one has to choose alone

[Final Chorus: Duet]
I’d build a home for every heart I hold
Room to come and go, room to still belong
Share my warmth, let the whole house breathe
No one owned, no one asked to leave
But love gets claimed like a deed in the ground
Still I keep that open door in my sound
I’d build that home if the world let it be
All of us here, all of us free
[Ad-libs: Female]
Room for you, room for me
[Male]
No one owns what love can be
[Duet]
All of us here, all of us free
