[Verse 1] You roll past the line with your chin held high Red on the corner, you call it a lie Hands on the wheel like a throne in a hall You think that the rules were designed for us all [Pre-Chorus] The crosswalk fills Your engine speaks You take the gap The small ones keep [Chorus] Here come the special people First through the red Here come the special people No thought in their heads You own the road, you own the day Till someone else gets in your way Here come the special people Make room, they say [Verse 2] A mother pulls back with a child by the hand You glance at your watch like you don't understand Your polished excuse is a practiced routine “I'm only a second”—you cut through the scene [Pre-Chorus] The signal holds The tires creep You take the turn The others wait [Chorus] Here come the special people First through the red Here come the special people No thought in their heads You own the road, you own the day Till someone else gets in your way Here come the special people Make room, they say [Bridge] One red lamp One narrow street One careless choice One missing beat The world won't bow The curb won't move A right of way Is not a crown you prove [Final Chorus] Here come the special people First through the red Here come the special people A halo made of lead You own the road, you own the day Till someone else gets in your way Here come the special people Make room, they say [Outro] Wait your turn The light is red Wait your turn The child stepped ahead
