[Verse 1] You came in with a paper tag And a little blue bow on your bag Curious eyes, a careful step Checking every corner, holding your breath I knelt down low, you leaned in close Braver than anybody knows A tiny tail began to swing Like you had found your favorite thing [Pre-Chorus] No grand parade, no perfect plan Just your warm nose against my hand [Chorus] You found a place where the good days start A little room with a wide-open heart Fresh water, soft beds, a name on the wall Someone to catch you whenever you fall Come on, come on, you’re safe here tonight Tomorrow is waiting with morning-light skies You don’t have to wonder where you belong You’ve been welcome all along [Verse 2] There’s a yellow toy beneath the chair And a friendly face waiting over there A blanket folded, clean and new A quiet corner made for you You’ll learn the sound of the afternoon The gentle footsteps, the humming tune Then one bright day, through an open door You’ll find the home you were hoping for [Pre-Chorus] No grand parade, no perfect plan Just your warm nose against my hand [Chorus] You found a place where the good days start A little room with a wide-open heart Fresh water, soft beds, a name on the wall Someone to catch you whenever you fall Come on, come on, you’re safe here tonight Tomorrow is waiting with morning-light skies You don’t have to wonder where you belong You’ve been welcome all along [Bridge] If you’re scared, take your time There’s no race, and there’s no line Every small step counts as brave Every kind hand helps you feel safe [Final Chorus] You found a place where the good days start A little room with a wide-open heart Fresh water, soft beds, a name on the wall Someone to catch you whenever you fall Come on, come on, you’re safe here tonight Tomorrow is waiting with morning-light skies You don’t have to wonder where you belong You’ve been welcome all along [Outro] A little blue bow, a brand-new start A quiet room with a wide-open heart
