[Verse 1] I’m up in your room with the lamp turned low You say you’re too tired but your thoughts won’t go Those birds start shouting when you try to sleep Same sharp cackles, same hard beat Got a storm in your chest, got a buzz in your bones Like a crowd in the walls when you’re all alone But I’m right here, let them talk and spit We’ll breathe in slow till they lose their grip [Pre-Chorus] Let me show how to drop Every peck, every mock When they rise, we won’t trip Take my hand, feel this shift [Chorus] Turn the noise down (turn the noise down) We’ll tune the chickens out instead Turn the noise down (turn the noise down) Let them chatter while we live We’ll find a little bit of peace A little bit of peace We’ll find a little bit of peace A little bit of peace [Verse 2] We can cook up joy till the doubts all fade Homemade cornbread in a skillet pan Smoked beans simmer with the window raised Peach cobbler bubbling while the night rolls in We’ll fry green tomatoes till they crack and sing Mash sweet potatoes with a cinnamon ring Gumbo slow-dancing in a heavy pot Honey-butter biscuits coming out so hot [Pre-Chorus] When they start getting loud We will sing over sound Taste the calm on your lip Let it hush every quip [Chorus] Turn the noise down (turn the noise down) We’ll tune the chickens out instead Turn the noise down (turn the noise down) Let them chatter while we live We’ll find a little bit of peace A little bit of peace We’ll find a little bit of peace A little bit of peace [Bridge] We can sway in the kitchen light Two-step soft through the quiet night Do a slow swing, shoulder slide Little side-step shuffle with our hearts aligned We can rock, rock, rock that soul Hip roll, backstep, let the worries go Gospel clap with a snap on two Turn a tiny room into a Sunday pew We can moonwalk past every cruel word said Reggae sway, let the doubt grow dead Jazz spin, tap heel, let the trumpets shout Every little move tunes the chickens out [Final Chorus] Turn the noise down (turn the noise down) We’ll tune the chickens out instead Turn the noise down (turn the noise down) Let them chatter while we live We’ll share this homemade peace This homemade peace We’ll dance in homemade peace Our homemade peace Turn the noise down (turn the noise down) We’ll tune the chickens out instead Turn the noise down (turn the noise down) We’ll cook and dance till they’re spent We’ll find a little bit of peace A little bit of peace We’ll find a little bit of peace In you and me We’ll find a little bit of peace In you and me
