One Small Light

[Verse] I walked through the city with noise in the air Saw a tired soul with a silent prayer She held up a sign in the cold gray light Not asking for gold, just to feel seen tonight Her eyes said more than her words could say Like hope was a candle fading away I reached for kindness, simple and true One little spark can carry us through [Chorus] Give from the heart when the world feels cold Give what you can, let the light take hold We rise when we lift someone out of the dark A small act of mercy can turn into a spark Not for praise, not for pride, not for what it brings Life grows stronger through the love we give The heart that gives, the heart that gives, the heart that gives [Verse] They build tall towers and count every coin They chase the crown while the hungry join But what is power if the soul runs dry And no one looks up when a stranger cries We are not machines made of steel and stone We were never meant to stand alone A hand can heal what a wall divides A little more care can change the tide [Chorus] Give from the heart when the world feels cold Give what you can, let the light take hold We rise when we lift someone out of the dark A small act of mercy can turn into a spark Not for praise, not for pride, not for what it brings Life grows stronger through the love we give The heart that gives, the heart that gives, the heart that gives [Bridge] The weight feels lighter when shoulders meet The road grows warmer beneath our feet When storms come calling and skies turn blue I will stand there and pull you through No hidden reason, no selfish plan Just human kindness from hand to hand And when we leave this world someday Love is the echo that will stay [Chorus] Give from the heart when the world feels cold Give what you can, let the light take hold We rise when we lift someone out of the dark A small act of mercy can turn into a spark Not for praise, not for pride, not for what it brings Life grows stronger through the love we give The heart that gives, the heart that gives, the heart that gives [Outro] So carry the fire, soft but bright Be someone’s dawn in a lonely night We become more than the lives we live When we choose the heart that gives The heart that gives, the heart that gives, the heart that gives
