Equality (Icestorm’s Lyric Challenge 09/10/26)

Verse 1

We come from different places,

We speak a thousand tongues,

We carry different stories,

But underneath , we're one.

Different dreams and different colors,

Different roads beneath our feet,

But every heart is searching

For a world where all can meet.

Pre-Chorus

No one is born above another,

No one is born below,

If we learn to see each other,

There's a better world to know.

Chorus

Give every heart a chance to shine,

Let every voice be heard,

Give every soul the same respect,

Let kindness be the word.

When we stand together,

There is nothing we can't face,

If we choose to lift each other

And make room for every race.

Equality across the world will lead to the end of hate.

Verse 2

We don't have to think alike,

We don't have to share the same dreams,

We don't have to walk one road

To understand what freedom means.

Your hand can reach for my hand,

My strength can carry you,

And what once divided us

Can become the ties that pull us through.

Pre-Chorus

No one's faith, no one's color,

No one's name or where they're from,

Should ever make them lesser In the eyes of anyone.

Chorus

Give every heart a chance to shine,

Let every voice be heard,

Give every soul the same respect,

Let kindness be the word.

When we stand together,

There is nothing we can't face,

If we choose to lift each other

And make room for every race.

Equality across the world will lead to the end of hate.

Bridge

Imagine children growing up

Without the weight of hate,

Learning that another person

Is not their enemy by fate.

Imagine doors that open wide,

No matter who you are,

A world where every human being

Can reach for every star.

Breakdown

One world...

One people...

Many voices...

One dream...

Let compassion be our language,

Let understanding be our creed.

Chorus

Give every heart a chance to shine,

Let every voice be heard,

Give every soul the same respect,

Let kindness be the word.

When we stand together,

We become a stronger light,

And the darkness starts to fade

When we choose to do what's right.

Equality across the world will lead to the end of hate.

Outro

Different faces, different names, Different stories, different ways,

But beneath the skin and through the years,

We're all made of hopes and fears.

So let the walls come down tonight,

Let every heart be free,

For the future that we're building

Starts with you... and starts with me.

Equality.

Equality.

Spoken

Equality across the world will lead to the end of hate.
