[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.
