[Intro: bright guitar harmonics, rolling toms] [Verse 1: syncopated baritone] The woman at the checkout Has a name above her heart I read it, say good morning Ask her how her day's been going She says nobody has asked Since her morning shift had started [Pre-Chorus: rising fretless bass] A hundred faces passing through All with lives as real as you [Chorus: anthemic major-key lift] Everybody has a name Everybody has a story No one's just a moving part In somebody else's morning Look them in the eyes Let their humanity be seen A little bit of recognition Changes everything [Break: slap bass counterpoint, IDM rhythmic edits] [Verse 2: warm ascending melody] The cleaner in the hallway The driver in the rain I learn their names and thank them Not because I need a thing [Bridge: dramatic half-time] No one should feel invisible While making someone else's world possible [Final Chorus: layered harmonies, gritty peak] Everybody has a name And dignity belongs to all The world gets just a little warmer When we see each other whole [Outro: guitar harmonics resolve]
