Keep a Place for Me

[Verse 1] When the morning takes its time to find the room And yesterday still hangs its coat upon the gloom You reach for me; I take your hand We make a little shelter where we stand [Pre-Chorus] One breath, then another A small spark we can trust Even when the road is covered There is still a way through us [Chorus] Hope, keep a place for me Hold the door wide open When I can’t see what’s ahead Be the word I’m holding Hope, I’m not letting go Step by step, we’re growing From the ground we thought was bare Something good is showing [Verse 2] There’s a note you left beside the kettle: “Try” In your careful handwriting, blue and slightly dry I read it when the day runs thin And feel the strength come back again [Pre-Chorus] One breath, then another A small spark we can trust Even when the road is covered There is still a way through us [Chorus] Hope, keep a place for me Hold the door wide open When I can’t see what’s ahead Be the word I’m holding Hope, I’m not letting go Step by step, we’re growing From the ground we thought was bare Something good is showing [Bridge] If your hands are tired, lean on mine We don’t need the whole way mapped tonight Just the next kind thing, the next small mile And a reason to stay for a little while [Final Chorus] Hope, keep a place for us Hold the door wide open When we can’t see what’s ahead Be the word we’re holding Hope, we’re not letting go Step by step, we’re growing From the ground we thought was bare Something good is showing [Outro] Something good is showing We are still becoming
