[Intro] One breath, one room, one human face No wall can make us less the same [Verse 1] You drew a border on the floor Said my name like a warning sign But I have heard that fear before It only grows when we feed the lie Your hands are warm, your eyes are tired You carry losses I can’t see Different prayers, the same desire To leave a kinder world to breathe [Pre-Chorus] Put down the stone Open the door What we protect Can become a war [Chorus] Choose love when the room gets loud Choose grace when the crowd turns proud No one is born to stand alone We make a home from what we share Choose peace when the old words sting Choose room for the trembling wings Your future is tied to mine Let every heart cross every line [Verse 2] A mother waits beside the gate A child asks why the colors fight We can repeat the hands of hate Or teach them how to make things right Bring every language to the table Bring every story, scar, and song A bridge is only wood and cable Until we choose to walk it strong [Pre-Chorus] Put down the stone Open the door The life we save Could be our own [Chorus] Choose love when the room gets loud Choose grace when the crowd turns proud No one is born to stand alone We make a home from what we share Choose peace when the old words sting Choose room for the trembling wings Your future is tied to mine Let every heart cross every line [Bridge] I won’t become what wounded me I won’t pass fire hand to hand If you can hear this, stand with me We are the answer that we planned Not the same, but side by side Not erased, but recognized Let the locked gate lose its name Let compassion break the chain [Final Chorus] Choose love when the whole world shouts Choose grace and turn the fear around No one is born to stand alone We make a home from what we share Choose peace when the old words sting Choose room for the trembling wings Your future is tied to mine Let every heart cross every line [Outro] One breath, one room, one human face No wall can make us less the same Love is not soft when it stands this tall It is the strength that welcomes all
