Every Door Swings Open

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] You showed me the notice taped crooked on the door Two weeks to leave the room you’d called yours Your little boy was drawing trains across the floor While someone counted what your name was worth [Pre-Chorus] I heard the clerk say, “That’s just how it goes” You held your coat and swallowed what you know [Chorus] Who gets heard when the truth walks in? Who gets grace when the rules bend thin? You can dress it up, you can call it fair But the weight of the world ain’t shared out there I won’t look away, I won’t call it right Till every door swings open wide [Verse 2] At the clinic, your mother waited past the noon A paper number fading in her hand The room was full, the answers came too soon They sent her home with words she couldn’t understand [Pre-Chorus] And every quiet “no” leaves a mark A small locked gate can keep a whole life dark [Chorus] Who gets heard when the truth walks in? Who gets grace when the rules bend thin? You can dress it up, you can call it fair But the weight of the world ain’t shared out there I won’t look away, I won’t call it right Till every door swings open wide [Bridge] No one should have to beg to stay No one should be priced out of a name If we stand beside the ones pushed aside The line can move, the years can change [Final Chorus] We will be heard when the truth walks in We will make room where the rules bend thin No more dressing it up, no more calling it fair We’ll share the weight, we’ll meet each other there We won’t look away, we won’t call it right Till every door swings open wide [Outro] Every door, every life Every voice belongs inside
