[Verse 1] You held the door when my hands were full You learned my name when the room was loud A paper cup of water, a chair pulled near Small things make a little more room here [Pre-Chorus] I carried that care past the corner store And left it with someone who needed it more [Chorus] Kindness keeps on traveling Hand to hand, heart to heart What you give becomes a way through What we share becomes a start Every patient word can open Every welcome make us whole The world grows rich in what we give And richer still in every soul [Verse 2] You stayed a while while I found my words You let the silence take the time it takes I brought that patience home with me And gave it where a hard day breaks [Pre-Chorus] One gentle act can cross a town A dozen hands can pass it round [Chorus] Kindness keeps on traveling Hand to hand, heart to heart What you give becomes a way through What we share becomes a start Every patient word can open Every welcome make us whole The world grows rich in what we give And richer still in every soul [Bridge] Not coins in a jar, not a score to keep But meals set out and a promise you keep A place at the table, a second chance A little more courage to take the next step [Final Chorus] Kindness keeps on traveling Hand to hand, heart to heart What you give becomes a way through What we share becomes a start Every patient word can open Every welcome make us whole The world grows rich in what we give And richer still in every soul [Outro] You gave a little room to breathe I’ll pass that room along A world made richer, one kind act One open door, one song
