Live and Let Live.

Verse 1
On a rainy high street, cups of tea in hand,
Different voices, different dreams across the land.
From terraces to towers, from coast to mill-town streets,
We don’t all agree — and that’s what makes us we.
You walk your road, I’ll walk mine too,
Same grey skies, same hope shining through.
No need to shout, no need to fight,
There’s room for all beneath these lights.
Pre-Chorus
It’s not weakness, it’s not giving in,
It’s strength to let your neighbour win.
Chorus
Live and let live, that’s the British way,
Stand your ground but make some space.
Hold your truth, let others speak,
Strong enough to disagree.
Side by side, not fist to fist,
Freedom shared is freedom lived.
Live and let live — let dignity give.
Verse 2
In pubs and parks and Sunday trains,
A thousand accents, one refrain.
We queue, we laugh, we muddle through,
Fair play matters — always has, always will do.
You don’t need my life to look like yours,
Or my past to match your shores.
We’re not the same — and that’s okay,
That’s how a country finds its way.
Pre-Chorus
It’s not silence, it’s respect,
A line we draw, a line we protect.
Chorus
Live and let live, that’s how we stand,
Not ruled by fear, not ruled by hand.
Say your piece, then hear the rest,
Decency put to the test.
Not my enemy, not my twin,
Just another soul trying to win.
Live and let live — let empathy in.
Bridge
It means no mobs, no shouted lies,
No tearing down to feel alive.
It means law with human grace,
Rights with duty, heart with place.
Strong borders of the mind set free,
A nation built on courtesy.
Break (spoken / sung softly)
You don’t have to be like me.
You just have to be free.
Final Chorus
Live and let live, from north to south,
From first held hand to final vow.
Different paths, same common ground,
That’s how Britain’s best is found.
Firm in values, calm in tone,
Confident enough to let be known:
Live and let live — we rise alone,
But we stand together.
Outro
Under one sky, weathered and true,
I’ll live my life — and make room for you.
