[Verse 1]
I’ve always been an ally
I’ve always meant that truth
I want your joy, your freedom
I want the best for you
I’ll stand beside your name
When the room gets cold and mean
I’ll make space at the table
For every kind of dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Just don’t turn pain into a weapon
Don’t dress up hate as light
If your faith is love, then let it
Leave room for every life
[Chorus]
I’ve always been an ally
Loving love
I’ve always been an ally
That’s enough
Use your heart, not your bias
Don’t you hurt what’s true
I’ll never judge your difference
Only cruelty from you
[Verse 2]
I can meet you in your questions
I can listen, I can learn
But I won’t call it kindness
When the bridges you burn
If you need a hand, I’m there
If you need a voice, I’ll speak
I just won’t stand silent
When the strong pick on the weak
[Pre-Chorus]
Just don’t turn pain into a weapon
Don’t dress up hate as light
If your faith is love, then let it
Leave room for every life
[Chorus]
I’ve always been an ally
Loving love
I’ve always been an ally
That’s enough
Use your heart, not your bias
Don’t you hurt what’s true
I’ll never judge your difference
Only cruelty from you
[Bridge]
We can disagree with grace
We can leave some room to grow
But I won’t call it living
If your love makes others low
So hold your truth with open hands
And let the rest of us breathe
I’ll keep choosing people
Who can let people be
[Final Chorus]
I’ve always been an ally
Loving love
I’ve always been an ally
That’s enough
Use your heart, not your bias
Don’t you hurt what’s true
I’ll never judge your difference
Only cruelty from you
