[Verse 1] You say the sky wrote law Like it fell in stone But I see people learning Face to face, bone to bone A child hears a voice A mother shows the way Elders plant the seeds Then the grown mind weighs What hurts, what heals What can’t be ignored What lifts up the table What leaves folks torn I don’t need a throne To know what I defend I watch, I feel, I test it Then I choose again [Pre-Chorus] We all got limits We all draw lines We all ask why In our own time If it feeds the wound I turn away If it builds the house I’m there to stay [Chorus] Morality ain’t imposed (ain’t imposed) We learn it, we hold it, we grow Morality ain’t imposed (ain’t imposed) We weigh it by harm and by hope (hope and harm) Morality ain’t imposed We decide what we praise Morality ain’t imposed And we live what we say [Verse 2] Not every code comes Wrapped in holy cloth Humanism, utility Truth that holds its ground Past generations speak Through every tested norm Some old ideas decay Some new ones take form I can respect your faith Still call out the bruise If a rite leaves scars Then it’s gotta lose No divine stamp Can make pain a saint If a custom hurts the weak I won’t call it quaint [Pre-Chorus] We all got elders We all got peers We all got reasons Through the years If it raises hands Or breaks the chain I’ll say it loud And I’ll say it plain [Chorus] Morality ain’t imposed (ain’t imposed) We learn it, we hold it, we grow Morality ain’t imposed (ain’t imposed) We weigh it by harm and by hope (hope and harm) Morality ain’t imposed We decide what we praise Morality ain’t imposed And we live what we say [Bridge] If your prayer makes room For the hungry child Then I’ll stand and clap Let that mercy run wild If your law makes fear Out of neighbor and kin Then I’m raising my voice Let the healing begin [Final Chorus] Morality ain’t imposed (ain’t imposed) We learn it, we hold it, we grow Morality ain’t imposed (ain’t imposed) We weigh it by harm and by hope (hope and harm) Morality ain’t imposed We decide what we praise Morality ain’t imposed And we live what we say [Outro] Empathy in the blood Wisdom in the room We judge with our hands open And we choose what blooms (what blooms)
