[Verse 1] You held the door when my hands were full Said my name when the room went dull Left the last orange on the kitchen plate Small things arrive before it’s too late You asked how I was, then waited there Long enough for the honest answer to appear I took that patience out into the day And gave it to somebody on the way [Pre-Chorus] One open hand can change the shape Of what another hand will make [Chorus] Kindness travels farther than we know Passed from heart to heart, it starts to grow What you give comes back in what we share A richer world is built by how we care [Verse 2] You brought warm bread to the upstairs room Where Mrs. Alvarez nursed her winter bloom She saved a slice for the courier downstairs Who called his sister just to say he cares A child saw that, and offered her seat To a tired man with rain on his sleeves He smiled at the child, she smiled at me That’s how a town becomes what it can be [Pre-Chorus] No grand design, no golden key Just you making room for me [Chorus] Kindness travels farther than we know Passed from heart to heart, it starts to grow What you give comes back in what we share A richer world is built by how we care [Bridge] Not a bargain, not a debt Not a kindness to forget Just a little more room at the table A chance to begin again, when able [Final Chorus] Kindness travels farther than we know Passed from heart to heart, it starts to grow Every welcome makes the circle wide Every gentle act leaves more inside What you give comes back in what we share A richer world is built by how we care [Outro] You made room for me I’ll make room for you
