[Verse 1]
One more name, one more face
One more seat at the table
Hold that door, hold that grudge
Choose the kindest angle
A little hurt turns hard fast
A little pride can blind you
Look at me, look at you
We all bleed the same inside
[Pre-Chorus]
So slow it down
Before it breaks
Hearts are fragile
Hands can shake
[Chorus]
Respect life, respect life
Keep it in your hands
Respect life, respect life
Try to understand
One small act
Can change the night
Respect life, respect life
Respect life
[Verse 2]
On the curb, by the store
Old man counting pennies
At the park, little kids
Laughing loud on Sunday
Every scar has a story
Every face has a future
Don’t step on what’s still growing
Don’t tear down what could heal you
[Pre-Chorus]
So slow it down
Before it breaks
Hearts are fragile
Hands can shake
[Chorus]
Respect life, respect life
Keep it in your hands
Respect life, respect life
Try to understand
One small act
Can change the night
Respect life, respect life
Respect life
[Bridge]
When the room gets hot
When the anger starts
Be the one who pauses
Be the one who guards
Say my name with care
Say yours the same
We don’t get this time twice
We don’t get back pain
[Final Chorus]
Respect life, respect life
Keep it in your hands
Respect life, respect life
Try to understand
One small act
Can change the night
Respect life, respect life
Respect life
