[Intro] You can tell a lot about a man By what he does with an open hand What he keeps What he gives What gets bigger when he lives [Verse 1] Everybody wants a little more Little more room, little more control Build the walls, lock the door Then wonder what we’re lonely for A quiet room can change its shape When somebody walks in without taking space Nothing loud Nothing smart Just somebody bringing their whole heart [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it isn’t what we hold Maybe it’s what we don’t [Chorus] Bring the whole heart Don’t leave half outside Bring the good part Bring the part you try to hide If you’re gonna build something Build it where the light can start Whatever you put your hands to Bring the whole heart [Post-Chorus] Whole heart Whole heart Leave something better than you found it Whole heart [Verse 2] Give a little power to an empty room Watch how fast it fills with someone’s truth One small hand on a bigger wheel Can change the way a thousand people feel Kindness has a reach like that Never needs a name attached A cup, a coat A place to start Little things from a whole heart [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the world won’t turn at once Maybe it turns one person at a time [Chorus] Bring the whole heart Don’t leave half outside Bring the good part Bring the part you try to hide If you’re gonna build something Build it where the light can start Whatever you put your hands to Bring the whole heart [Instrumental Break] Whole… Whole… What did you bring into the room? [Bridge] Everybody leaves something behind A little peace A little noise A little fear in somebody’s mind So when they remember you When the room goes dark Will they remember what you had Or what you gave from your heart? [Build] I don’t wanna live halfway I don’t wanna love halfway I don’t wanna leave this place The same way that I found it [Final Chorus] Bring the whole heart Nothing left outside Bring the bruised part Bring the part that’s still alive If you’re gonna build something Give it everything you are Whatever you put your hands to Bring the whole heart [Final Hook] Whole heart Whole heart Leave something better than you found it Whole heart Whole heart Whatever you do Bring the whole heart [Outro] You can tell a lot about a man By what he does With an open hand.
