We Take the Room

[Intro] (We know, we know) (You can’t turn us down) [Verse 1: Female] You brought a polished alibi Folded neatly in your coat But I can read the underside Of every word you never wrote [Verse 1: Male] You counted on a quiet room You counted wrong, we came prepared Now every careful little move Is hanging brightly in the air [Pre-Chorus: Female & Male] No, we don’t need permission No, we don’t wait for a sign You drew a narrow border We stepped across the line [Chorus: Duet with Group Chants] We take the room, we take the room Turn your doubt into a drum Hands up high, let the whole place know We are the ones who won’t let go (Go, go) We won’t let go (Go, go) We won’t let go Say it loud till the ceiling moves We take the room, we take the room [Verse 2: Male] There’s a silver mark across the door From the night we changed the code You can keep your old applause We found a better road [Verse 2: Female] I wore your version long enough Now it doesn’t fit my name Every silence lost its weight Every spark became a flame [Pre-Chorus: Duet] No, we don’t need permission No, we don’t wait for a sign You drew a narrow border We stepped across the line [Chorus: Duet with Group Chants] We take the room, we take the room Turn your doubt into a drum Hands up high, let the whole place know We are the ones who won’t let go (Go, go) We won’t let go (Go, go) We won’t let go Say it loud till the ceiling moves We take the room, we take the room [Bridge: Female, then Male] If the floor gives way, I’ll land running If the lights cut out, I’ll still be coming You can change the lock, you can close the gate But you can’t make a fearless heart hesitate [Breakdown: Group Chants] Who are we? The ones still standing What do we want? A life commanding Who are we? The ones still standing Say it again— We’re not disappearing [Final Chorus: Duet with Full Group] We take the room, we take the room Turn your doubt into a drum Hands up high, let the whole place know We are the ones who won’t let go (Go, go) We won’t let go (Go, go) We won’t let go Say it loud till the ceiling moves We take the room, we take the room [Outro: Group] (We know, we know) (You can’t turn us down) We take the room
