# **RESPECT** ### **Verse 1** You don’t have to think like me, You don’t have to live my way, But every heart deserves some kindness, Every voice deserves its say. Don’t tear somebody down Just to make yourself feel tall, A little understanding Can mean everything at all. ### **Pre-Chorus** Different faces, different stories, Different roads beneath our feet, But we all deserve some dignity Whenever we meet. ### **Chorus** **R-E-S-P-E-C-T,** That’s what everybody needs. Treat me like a human being, Not a label that you see. No bullying, no hate, No pushing people down, Respect goes both ways— Spread it all around. **R-E-S-P-E-C-T,** It starts with you and me. Give a little kindness, And let people just be free. ### **Verse 2** You never know the battles Someone carries deep inside, So choose your words with kindness, Not arrogance or pride. You can disagree politely, You can walk a different road, You don’t have to throw another person Underneath the load. ### **Pre-Chorus** Listen before you judge them, Think before you speak, Being kind is never weakness— It proves that you are strong, not weak. ### **Chorus** **R-E-S-P-E-C-T,** That’s what everybody needs. Treat me like a human being, Not a label that you see. No bullying, no hate, No pushing people down, Respect goes both ways— Spread it all around. **R-E-S-P-E-C-T,** It starts with you and me. Give a little kindness, And let people just be free. ### **Bridge** Respect the young, Respect the old, Respect the quiet And the bold. Respect their boundaries, Respect their name, Nobody has to be Exactly the same. Different cultures, Different minds, Different bodies, Different lives. We don’t lose anything By choosing to be kind. ### **Breakdown** If somebody says **stop**—stop. If somebody says **no**—no. If someone needs some space, Give them room to go. Speak with care, Listen too, The respect you want Should start with you. ### **Final Chorus** **R-E-S-P-E-C-T,** Stand together, you and me. Everyone deserves compassion, Everyone deserves dignity. No bullying, no hate, No tearing people down, Lift somebody higher— Let respect go round. **R-E-S-P-E-C-T,** Louder now for all to see: **“I respect you, You respect me.”** ### **Outro** Different hearts, Different dreams, Still we're stronger as a team. One simple rule Can change everything: **Treat people how people deserve to be treated— With RESPECT.**
