[Intro — Harp • Rhodes • Warm Strings • Distant Flugelhorn] [Angelic Harmonies] Aaaaah... Uuuhhh... For each other... We were made for more... [Lead — softly] Somewhere along the way... We started looking across the room and seeing competition... Where maybe... we were supposed to see each other. [Verse 1] We got different names Different stories Different roads that brought us here Different ways of seeing tomorrow Different reasons for our tears But pain don't ask where you come from Before it settles in your heart And love don't need your permission Before it reaches through the dark Maybe I don't have to understand Everything you believe To recognize the same human breath Moving through you and me 'Cause underneath all these differences There's something we forgot... Your existence Doesn't threaten mine There's room for both of us [Pre-Chorus] I don't have to dim your light For mine to shine Don't have to close your door To walk through mine Maybe we were never meant To rise alone... [Pause] Maybe we rise by reaching back [Chorus] We're not here against each other We're here FOR EACH OTHER Your dream don't take from mine Your light don't steal my shine We don't have to look alike To stand beside one another There's enough sky For every star Enough love For every heart We're not here against each other... We're here FOR EACH OTHER [Angelic Harmonies] For each other... Stand together... Love makes room... [Verse 2] If you stumble I don't get taller By standing on your pain If you're hungry My table ain't poorer When I make another plate If you're hurting I don't lose nothing By sitting there awhile Sometimes becoming somebody's answer Is as simple as staying beside 'em We keep building higher fences Then asking where connection went Keep protecting what belongs to us 'Til nobody feels like they belong But what if strength wasn't what I kept? What if strength was what I shared? Maybe abundance starts the moment I realize... There's enough when somebody cares [Pre-Chorus] I don't have to know your journey To respect your road Don't have to carry every burden To help you with the load Maybe we were never meant To rise alone... Maybe we rise by reaching back [Chorus] We're not here against each other We're here FOR EACH OTHER Your dream don't take from mine Your light don't steal my shine We don't have to look alike To stand beside one another There's enough sky For every star Enough love For every heart We're not here against each other... We're here FOR EACH OTHER [Bridge — Orchestra Drops • Piano • Cello] [Lead] Imagine... If your victory felt like possibility to me If my becoming made you believe in what you could be If we stopped asking, "Who deserves more?" And started asking... "Who needs a hand?" Maybe changing this world ain't about everybody becoming the same Maybe... It's learning how to remain different... Without becoming divided [Angelic Harmonies] Different... Not divided... Still connected... [Breakdown — Hypnotic Bass • Handclaps • Strings] [Lead / Background] When somebody falls— (Reach back) When somebody hurts— (Stay near) When somebody shines— (Celebrate) When somebody speaks— (Let me hear) When somebody needs love— [Background] MAKE SOME ROOM [Lead] Yeah... That's what we're becoming [Final Chorus — Full Cinematic Philly-Soul Orchestra] WE'RE NOT HERE AGAINST EACH OTHER WE'RE HERE FOR EACH OTHER Let your light shine I'll bring mine And watch how bright this whole world becomes There's enough room At this table Enough hope For another I don't have to become less For you to become more So open another chair Open another heart Open another door We're not here against each other... [Music Drops] [Lead] We're here... [Angelic Harmonies] FOR EACH OTHER [Orchestra Returns] [Lead / Harmonies] Reach back! (For each other) Stand up! (For each other) Make room! (For each other) Become Love! (For each other) [Outro — Rhodes • Harp • Flugelhorn] [Lead — softly] Maybe humanity was never supposed to be a competition... Maybe the victory is getting there... And realizing we didn't leave anybody behind [Pause] One another... At a time [Angelic Harmonies] For each other... Becoming... Becoming...
