[Intro: melodic Holler motif] [Verse 1: Bubba male] I wanted everyone to see it The thing that changed my life I spent a month explaining And only started another fight [Chorus: Bubba mature male and Darlene unmistakably female] You can't open everybody's eyes Can't turn their midnight into sunrise You can offer what you've learned Then leave the other heart unturned Live the truth and let it shine Give the rest a little time [Verse 2: Darlene female] I can listen to my mother Without making her agree I can choose to speak with kindness And leave her choices free [Bridge: duet] If someone asks I'll share my story If they don't I'll let them be Love's not holding someone captive [Final Chorus: swelling full band, duet] You can't open everybody's eyes Can't turn their midnight into sunrise You can offer what you've learned Then leave the other heart unturned Live the truth and let it shine Give the rest a little time [Outro: instrumental resolve, no abrupt cutoff]
