We Make Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You carry your name through a room full of noise Still make a way, still make your own choice Your mother's old photograph tucked in your coat Her hands taught you strength before you could know [Pre-Chorus] No one gets to tell you what your worth should be You were whole before they learned to see [Chorus] Stand tall, take your place Every story, every face We belong here, side by side With our truth held open wide Stand tall, let it ring No one owns the right to dream We are more than what they say We make room, we make a way [Verse 2] At the corner store, Mr. Lee saves your change Kids race their bikes past the old mural's paint Your sister comes home with a book in her hand Says, “I’m gonna build what they don’t understand” [Pre-Chorus] No one gets to tell you what your worth should be You were whole before they learned to see [Chorus] Stand tall, take your place Every story, every face We belong here, side by side With our truth held open wide Stand tall, let it ring No one owns the right to dream We are more than what they say We make room, we make a way [Bridge] When the old hurt rises, we don’t turn away We listen, we remember, we choose what we say Hand to hand, the future starts right here A little more justice, a little less fear [Final Chorus] Stand tall, take your place Every story, every face We belong here, side by side With our truth held open wide Stand tall, let it ring No one owns the right to dream We are more than what they say We make room, we make a way [Outro] We make room, we make a way We make room, we make a way
