[Verse 1] Rabbi told a story about soup It made me think For twenty years We’d brought each other soup The soup you made Was practically perfect But I always wanted more I never realized How rare your ingredients were How hard they were to grow I served you my portions At my scale [Pre-Chorus] Added the wrong things Overseasoned the bowl I felt my hunger Saw your waste Never understood How sated we would be If I adjusted My expectations [Chorus] Thank you for the soup Thank you for the soup I hope you know I tried I hope you know I tried Thank you for the soup Thank you for the soup You taught me how to cook You taught me how to cook [Verse 2] Thank you for pretending To like it as long as you did I don’t mind gazpacho But I will miss the warmth I’ll be grateful For whatever soup I get I will keep trying To tweak my recipe And my portions Until I get it right For whomever Will sit at my table [Pre-Chorus] And if I miss the mark I’ll learn it again Taste by taste Bowl by bowl A little less hunger A little more care A little more space For what is there [Chorus] Thank you for the soup Thank you for the soup I hope you know I tried I hope you know I tried Thank you for the soup Thank you for the soup You taught me how to cook You taught me how to cook [Bridge] I wandered in that morning After years away To hear a story That wasn’t about soup It was about gratitude It was about seeing The ones we love While we can [Final Chorus] Thank you for the soup Thank you for the soup Say it while you can Say it while you can Thank you for the soup Thank you for the soup That is all it takes That is all it takes Thank you for the soup Thank you for the soup I will learn to taste What’s already here
