[Verse 1] You meet the morning with your shoulders set A thousand little worlds you haven’t met The baker laughs, the bus rolls by A stranger lifts a hand; you catch their eye [Pre-Chorus] We’re not as far apart as we pretend A little care can travel, bend, and send [Chorus] Open up, let the whole wide world come through Give a little kindness; it comes back to you Every face has a life you can’t see Love is how we let each other be Open up, let the whole wide world come through [Verse 2] A neighbor’s dog goes racing down the block Two kids trade jokes beside the corner shop The rain begins; one umbrella swings And suddenly the street feels less like strangers [Pre-Chorus] We’re not as far apart as we pretend A little care can travel, bend, and send [Chorus] Open up, let the whole wide world come through Give a little kindness; it comes back to you Every face has a life you can’t see Love is how we let each other be Open up, let the whole wide world come through [Bridge] You don’t have to fix it all today Just see the person standing in your way One honest smile, one patient minute The world gets wider when we put love in it [Final Chorus] Open up, let the whole wide world come through Give a little kindness; it comes back to you Every face has a life you can’t see Love is how we let each other be Open up, let the whole wide world come through [Outro] Open up—let the whole wide world come through
