[Verse 1] Couple flyers on a table dreams on a shoestring budget Old church basement, big plans paint cans, buckets We ain’t waiting for a hero we the ones who show up Ramp by the front door lights on, door up I see walkers, wheelchairs sneakers, canes Same rain hit us all we just move through lanes Call it Lift Each Other we gon’ lift this block Every voice in the circle every key to the lock [Chorus] Lift each other up that’s the motto, that’s the move (hey!) Every single body in the room got room Different ways of walking but we walk in truth What you call a “difference” we call proof Lift each other up we belong right here Side by side ain’t a single one weird We don’t break apart we just link, we just fuse Yeah, our differences the value that we use [Verse 2] College kid studying sits next to a vet One signs with their hands other catching their breath Kid with a sensory headset knows all the code Grandma learning how to text on her cracked-up phone Job board on the wall after-school chess in the back Yoga in the mornings art class cover the racks You ain’t “served” from a distance you invite, you belong We don’t fix people we just fix what was wrong [Chorus] Lift each other up that’s the motto, that’s the move (oh!) Every single body in the room got room Different ways of walking but we walk in truth What you call a “difference” we call proof Lift each other up we belong right here Side by side ain’t a single one weird We don’t break apart we just link, we just fuse Yeah, our differences the value that we use [Bridge] Not “for you” it’s “with you” feel that switch Hand off power watch it stretch, never glitch Circle round wider make the table extend You ain’t a project you a partner, a friend (hey!) [Chorus] Lift each other up that’s the heartbeat, listen Every empty lot we can turn to a vision Different ways of living but the love one root What you call a “difference” we call proof Lift each other up from the ground, from the fear Everybody, everybody bring it all here We don’t break apart we just link, we just fuse Yeah, our differences the value that we choose
