[Verse 1] You held the elevator with your coffee going cold Made room for the new kid carrying a box of files You showed her where the spare keys hang beside the old coat She learned the names, then found a way to make the whole place smile [Pre-Chorus] A little trust can travel farther than a favor asked One open hand can turn a locked door into a path [Chorus] Give a little good, watch the good come round One small yes can lift somebody off the ground When you make a place for another to begin They remember how it felt, and they invite you in Pass the chance along, let the circle grow Every door you hold becomes a door you know [Verse 2] You stayed to walk the intern through the numbers on the page She caught the flaw that would've cost the team a month At Friday's table, she saved you a seat beside the sage By Monday, both your names were on the project up front [Pre-Chorus] No grand design, just showing up and doing what you can A steady kind of generosity makes allies where it lands [Chorus] Give a little good, watch the good come round One small yes can lift somebody off the ground When you make a place for another to begin They remember how it felt, and they invite you in Pass the chance along, let the circle grow Every door you hold becomes a door you know [Bridge] Not a bargain, not a tally on a page Just the way we keep each other from getting turned away You lend your name, you share the map, you say, “Come sit with us” And later, when your hands are full, they make a little room [Final Chorus] Give a little good, watch the good come round One small yes can lift a whole team off the ground When you make a place for another to begin They remember how it felt, and they invite you in Pass the chance along, let the circle grow Every door you hold becomes a door you know Give a little good—let it travel, let it spread A thousand new beginnings from the kind words that you said [Outro] You make room, they make room That’s how a way gets made You make room, they make room And nobody walks alone
