[Verse 1] You pause beside the words you almost say, And catch the bruise beneath their sharp disguise. A little patience changes what can stay; A face unguarded meets another’s eyes. [Pre-Chorus] Not to fix, not to judge, Just to listen long enough. [Chorus] I can feel the weight you carry, You can hear the hurt in me. Step by step, we soften edges, Make a kinder place to be. When your world is hard to hold, Let my hands be steady, near. I can feel the weight you carry— We grow kinder here. [Verse 2] A stranger misses one more turn of sleep, A friend says “fine” but looks away too soon. We learn the things a quiet heart can keep, And answer gently, not with easy tunes. [Pre-Chorus] Not to fix, not to judge, Just to listen long enough. [Chorus] I can feel the weight you carry, You can hear the hurt in me. Step by step, we soften edges, Make a kinder place to be. When your world is hard to hold, Let my hands be steady, near. I can feel the weight you carry— We grow kinder here. [Bridge] A softer answer travels farther Than we know when it begins. [Final Chorus] I can feel the weight you carry, You can hear the hurt in me. Step by step, we soften edges, Make a kinder place to be. When your world is hard to hold, Let my hands be steady, near. I can feel the weight you carry— We grow kinder here. [Outro] We grow kinder here.
