[Intro: single piano chord, distant room murmur] [Spoken] A door held open. A name remembered. A place made at the table. [Verse 1] You saved the seat beside the wall And noticed I had missed the call You asked me how the morning went Then stayed to hear what I meant No grand parade, no perfect plan Just time you gave another hand A little room to breathe and try A little truth without a lie [Pre-Chorus] When the day has worn us thin Let one kind word begin again Pass it on from hand to hand Make a little more room where we stand [Chorus] MAKE ROOM, MAKE ROOM LET SOMEBODY IN A patient ear, a place to begin Small acts of care can travel far From one open door to where we are MAKE ROOM, MAKE ROOM Let the good move through The world gets kinder When I make room for you [Verse 2] You learned the new kid’s lunchbox name You took the blame when blame was aimed You left the last warm roll for me And let an old friend disagree You called your neighbor just to ask If carrying groceries felt like a task You gave the tired cashier a smile And let the rushed line breathe a while [Pre-Chorus] No one has to earn their worth No one should stand alone on earth A hand extended, steady, plain Can help somebody start again [Chorus] MAKE ROOM, MAKE ROOM LET SOMEBODY IN A patient ear, a place to begin Small acts of care can travel far From one open door to where we are MAKE ROOM, MAKE ROOM Let the good move through The world gets kinder When I make room for you [Instrumental Break: fretless bass and toms, rising guitars] [Bridge: sparse piano and strings] If you’re carrying more than you can say You don’t have to explain it all today I can sit here; we can take our time No fixing, no hurry, no reason to hide And when I’m the one who loses my way I hope you’ll remember these words I say A gentle answer, a shoulder nearby Can keep one more hope from saying goodbye [Build] One cup of tea One honest call One extra chair Can change it all [Final Chorus: bright major lift] MAKE ROOM, MAKE ROOM LET EVERY HEART IN A patient ear, a place to begin Small acts of care can travel far From one open door to where we are MAKE ROOM, MAKE ROOM Let the good move through The world gets kinder When I make room for you [Choir] Room for the weary Room for the new Room for a different point of view [Lead] No one is too small to start Kindness grows from an ordinary heart [Final Refrain] Hold the door Learn the name Share the weight Skip the blame Hear them out Stay awhile Offer truth Leave room to smile [Outro: piano and soft choir] Make room for you Make room for me A kinder world Begins quietly
