[Verse 1] You held the door when your hands were full I saw you waiting, I was rushing through A little patience, a name remembered Can change the weather in a crowded room [Pre-Chorus] Before you answer, let the moment breathe Give the same room you hope to receive [Chorus] Give respect like you want it returned Make a little space, let a real voice be heard Take the time, look up, let your kindness show Treat people the way you want them to know [Verse 2] You don't know what someone carried today Or how one sharp word can stay in their way So ask, don't assume; hear the whole reply There's strength in seeing another person's side [Pre-Chorus] Before you answer, let the moment breathe Give the same room you hope to receive [Chorus] Give respect like you want it returned Make a little space, let a real voice be heard Take the time, look up, let your kindness show Treat people the way you want them to know [Bridge] Not a favor, not a weakness Not a prize you have to earn Every person has a story Every day, the tables turn [Final Chorus] Give respect like you want it returned Make a little space, let a real voice be heard Take the time, look up, let your kindness show Treat people the way you want them to know Give respect, let it travel from you What you hope to receive, give it freely too [Outro] Give it freely too Let it travel from you
