[Verse 1] You left your coat beside the stairs I saw the rain dried on the sleeve You said the words too sharp to take back I heard the hurt beneath them breathe [Pre-Chorus] We each arrive with different maps And old alarms we can't explain A pause can make a little room For someone else's kind of pain [Chorus] Make room at the table Make room for the truth We don't have to be the same To keep a place for you When anger has a name And mercy has a face We mend the ties between us One honest act of grace [Verse 2] The neighbor's porch light stayed on late Though we had barely learned hello A bowl of soup, a borrowed wrench Can say what speeches never show [Pre-Chorus] Tolerance is not pretending That every wound is small It's holding firm to what is fair And still not closing every door [Chorus] Make room at the table Make room for the truth We don't have to be the same To keep a place for you When anger has a name And mercy has a face We mend the ties between us One honest act of grace [Bridge] Forgiveness isn't saying That the harm was never real It's choosing not to pass it on While keeping what we need to heal And when we listen past the blame The silence starts to break A common ground is built by hands That learn what they can make [Final Chorus] Make room at the table Make room for the truth We don't have to be the same To keep a place for you When anger has a name And mercy has a face We mend the ties between us One honest act of grace [Outro] A place for you A place for me A wider circle We can keep
