[Verse 1]
Grain in my voice
Dust in the air
One chair
One light
And an empty stair
Talking ’bout mercy
In a cracked-up tune
Quiet little prayer
In a giant room
[Chorus]
Give me a room for peace
Four small walls where we can breathe
Lay all our weapons on the floor
Give me a word that heals
Something truer than what we feel
Till the fear can’t find us anymore
[Verse 2]
News on the screen
Keeps shouting in red
I pull down the blinds
Sing hope instead
If all that we have
Is a shaking hand
Let it be enough
To redraw this land
[Chorus]
Give me a room for peace
Four small walls where we can breathe
Lay all our weapons on the floor
Give me a word that heals
Something truer than what we feel
Till the fear can’t find us anymore
[Bridge]
[Band swells
Guitars rise]
Raise your tired eyes
Let the dark sky break (oh)
If we sing tonight
Maybe something wakes
Let the anger fade
Into open arms
We are small and scared
Still we mean no harm
[Final Chorus]
Give me a room for peace
Every voice in harmony
Shaking the ceiling
Shaking the war
Give me a word that heals
Louder
Louder till it’s real
Till the fear can’t find us anymore
[Outro]
[EDM-style overture builds
Then drops to vocal]
One soft word
In a hard
Hard time
One soft word
And we start to climb
