[Verse 1] When a question finds you in the schoolyard rain And someone says, “I trust what my eyes can name” Take a breath, be gentle, let the answer start Hope can hold a reason, and reason can reach a heart [Pre-Chorus] You don’t need a towering speech Or words too hard to understand Use the little things within our reach And let the picture form in someone’s hands [Chorus] If a simple house needs hands to raise it Who shaped the stars beyond our view? If a page has words, someone arranged it If life has order, where did its pattern come through? Speak with kindness, speak with courage Tell the truth as simply as you can Hope is not a hidden answer It is light we learn to understand [Verse 2] “Have you seen the builder?” a classmate may ask “Not with these two eyes,” you can answer back “But when I find a shelter in a forest far away I know a careful maker put each beam in place” [Pre-Chorus] So look at every living thing The careful work in leaf and wing A question is an open door And love can show what faith is for [Chorus] If a simple house needs hands to raise it Who shaped the stars beyond our view? If a page has words, someone arranged it If life has order, where did its pattern come through? Speak with kindness, speak with courage Tell the truth as simply as you can Hope is not a hidden answer It is light we learn to understand [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] Parents, take the time together Read, discuss, and choose your words Teach them how to reason clearly And to listen before they’re heard When a willing heart is near them Let them answer without fear A calm and thoughtful explanation Can make distant truth feel near [Final Chorus] If a simple house needs hands to raise it Who shaped the stars beyond our view? If a page has words, someone arranged it If life has order, where did its pattern come through? Speak with kindness, speak with courage Tell the truth as simply as you can Hope is not a hidden answer It is light we learn to understand [Outro] When they ask the reason for your hope Give a gentle answer, give them room to grow
