Lyrics
Verse 1
World moves fast, everybody on edge
Screens screaming loud, putting fear in our heads
We forgot the old ways, the simple and true
How a kind word and respect can carry us through
Pre-Chorus
No need for the armor, no need for the fight
Just open the door and turn on the light
Chorus
Respect runs deep when we choose to see
Another human heart just trying to be free
Chivalry ain’t dead, it’s waiting to breathe
A little kindness goes further than we believe
Respect runs deep — meet them where they stand
With an open hand and a steady plan
We don’t have to fear what we don’t understand
Respect runs deep — that’s how we heal the land
Verse 2
Hold the door, say thank you, look ‘em in the eye
Treat every stranger like they matter, that’s no lie
When the world gets ugly, be the one who’s kind
Watch how the energy starts to realign
Pre-Chorus
It feels old-fashioned but it cuts through the noise
Brings back the peace that we all really need
Chorus
Respect runs deep when we choose to see
Another human heart just trying to be free
Chivalry ain’t dead, it’s waiting to breathe
A little kindness goes further than we believe
Respect runs deep — meet them where they stand
With an open hand and a steady plan
We don’t have to fear what we don’t understand
Respect runs deep — that’s how we heal the land
Bridge – half-time, raw vulnerable rasp
When I’m at my best, chivalrous and light
Everything flows smoother, everything feels right
No more walls, no more us versus them
Just people being people — let’s try that again
Final Chorus – massive key change, full-power belts + layered ad-libs
Respect runs deep — hear the whole world breathe again!
From the simple acts see the healing begin
No more hiding kindness, let the real light shine through
Respect runs deep — starts with me and you!
Respect runs deep — let the love lead the way
Stronger together, come what may
This life gets better when we remember how
Respect runs deep… right here, right now
Outro
Respect runs deep…
A little kindness…
Changes everything…
