THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM MILOFRENCHIS [INTRO — WHISPERED, ONE VOICE AT A TIME] [DEEP VOICE ENGLISH,MALE] Do you see it? [SPANISH SWEET VOICE FEMALE] Sí. [KOREAN, KOREAN fierce FEMALE VOICE] 보여. [MANDARIN, CHINESE MALE] 看见了. [FRENCH, FLIRTING FEMALE] Je le vois. [ALL — DEEP WHISPER] Then say it… The elephant in the room. [VERSE 1 — SPANISH SWEET VOICE FEMALE, ] Todos ven lo que sucede, nadie lo quiere nombrar. Lo que escondes con silencio cada día pesa más. [PRE-CHORUS — DEEP VOICE ENGLISH,MALE] We call the silence “keeping peace,” while truth waits underneath. But peace that asks us not to speak will never let us breathe. [CHORUS — ALL, ENGLISH] The elephant in the room, everybody sees it, nobody tells the truth. The elephant in the room, growing every time we hide what’s in full view. Name it, face it, let it through, silence loses power when we tell the truth. The elephant in the room— say it now and let us breathe. [POST-CHORUS — RHYTHMIC GROUP CHANT] E-le-phant—name it! In the room—face it! E-le-phant—say it! Truth needs room to breathe! [VERSE 2 — KOREAN, KOREAN fierce FEMALE VOICE] 우린 모두 보고 있어 침묵 속에 더 커져 가 진실을 외면할수록 점점 숨이 막혀 와 [VERSE 3 — MANDARIN, CHINESE MALE] 真相就在眼前 沉默筑成高墙 越装作看不见 它越占满这房间 [BUILD — FRENCH, FLIRTING FEMALE] On le voit, on le sait, mais personne n’ose parler. Le courage commence ici: dire la vérité, c’est respirer. [BRIDGE — ONE VOICE AT A TIME] [SPANISH SWEET VOICE FEMALE] ¡Nómbralo! [DEEP VOICE ENGLISH,MALE] Face it now! [KOREAN, KOREAN fierce FEMALE VOICE] 진실을 말해! [MANDARIN, CHINESE MALE] 别再沉默! [FRENCH, FLIRTING FEMALE] Il faut parler! [ALL — RISING] Truth needs room to breathe! [FINAL CHORUS — ALL, POWERFUL] The elephant in the room, everybody sees it, now we’re telling the truth. The elephant in the room, it cannot control us when we bring it into view. Name it, face it, let it through, silence has no power when our voices move. The elephant in the room— we said it now, and we can breathe! [FINAL POST-CHORUS] E-le-phant—name it! In the room—face it! E-le-phant—say it! Truth needs room to breathe! [OUTRO — ALL, DEEP AND CINEMATIC] We see it. We name it. We face it. The elephant… in the room.
