Morning spills across the sidewalk, nothing asking to be known A woman ties her day together with a patient steady tone I notice how a stranger holds the door like it was home And something in that simple act reminds me I'm not alone He laughs a little later than the moment calls for sound Eyes tracing old decisions written into pavement ground No one asks the question that he keeps circling around So he folds it into motion where the answers aren't found If I listen closer, the world starts speaking back to me Every passing moment learns a way to set somebody free Not the answers I was chasing, just the way things come to be In the way we notice others, that's where meaning learns to be Footsteps keep on building like a thought that won't slow down Stories in the storefronts flicker as I move through town Every small collision turns the hush into a sound And I carry all these fragments like a map I haven't found If I listen closer, the world keeps speaking back to me Every passing moment learns the way of letting someone be Not the answers I was chasing, just the way things come to be In the way we notice others, that's where meaning learns to be A child redraws the world with nothing but a question mark And suddenly the heavy stories lose their missing spark Even tired hands remember how to leave a small remark That says the day is still becoming brighter after dark If I listen closer, the world keeps speaking back to me Every passing moment learns the way of letting someone be Not the answers I was chasing, just the way things come to be In the way we notice others, that's where meaning learns to be If I listen closer, the world is speaking back to me Every passing moment learns the art of letting someone be Not the answers I was chasing, just the way things come to be In the way we notice others, that's where meaning learns to be
