[Verse 1] You held the door when the rain came hard A stranger's coat on a child's cold arms One small kindness crossed the avenue And found a hundred hands to carry it through [Pre-Chorus] What we mend in each other's name Outlives the hurt, outlasts the blame [Chorus] Love can heal the world, one heart at a time Turn a hand held out into a lifeline When the walls come down, when the lost come home No one has to carry the dark alone Love can heal the world—let it start with us A thousand sparks become a sun [Verse 2] You brought warm bread to the third-floor door Sat with a neighbor who spoke no more A patient ear, a place to begin The quiet work that lets hope back in [Pre-Chorus] What we mend in each other's name Outlives the hurt, outlasts the blame [Chorus] Love can heal the world, one heart at a time Turn a hand held out into a lifeline When the walls come down, when the lost come home No one has to carry the dark alone Love can heal the world—let it start with us A thousand sparks become a sun [Bridge] If every broken promise finds a repair If every hungry table has room to spare If we choose to see the life in every face We can make a home of this whole human place No border can stop what compassion can do The world starts healing when I reach for you [Final Chorus] Love can heal the world, one heart at a time Turn a hand held out into a lifeline Hear the walls come down, see the lost come home No one has to carry the dark alone Love can heal the world—let it start with us A thousand sparks become a sun Love can heal the world, love can heal the world Let it start with us [Outro] Let it start with us Let it start with us
