THERE IS ROOM FOR US Verse 1 She stood before a doorway, With a thousand fears inside. And somewhere deep within her heart, She knew she couldn’t hide. She didn’t ask to carry history, Didn’t choose the world she knew. But she could choose what happened next, And what her courage had to do. Verse 2 Centuries have come and gone, And the world has found new ways. But some of yesterday’s questions Still are living in today. Who is worthy of a hearing? Who is given room to grow? Who gets welcomed to the table? Who is standing at the door? Chorus There is room for us, There is room to rise. Room to hear another story Through a different pair of eyes. We don’t have to share a history To believe in dignity. And the freedom that I pray for Is the freedom you should see. Not above and not beneath you, Not divided by the past. Let us build a kind of future Where respect and justice last. Verse 3 There’s a mother teaching kindness, There’s a father learning grace. There’s a daughter finding courage, There’s a son who knows his place— Not beneath another person, Not above another soul, But beside the ones around him, Helping make a broken world whole. Bridge — Rising gospel harmony Let faith become compassion, Let truth be spoken plain. Let us carry forward wisdom Without passing on the pain. We can’t undo the suffering, We can’t erase the years. But we can choose to listen With an open heart and ears. Let the lessons of the women Who were brave enough to stand Become bridges for tomorrow, Built by every willing hand. Final Chorus There is room for us, There is room to grow. Room for every generation And the stories we don’t know. Let our differences be honored, Let our common hopes be seen. There’s no need to steal another’s light For our own to brightly gleam. Outro For such a time as this, May we find the strength to see: Your dignity is not my loss. Your freedom matters just like mine. There is room for us.
