[Verse 1] I keep a place behind my eyes Where nobody gets sized up at the door You tell the truth and still get supper You break a cup, we sweep the floor [Chorus] Let there be room to change our minds Room for the bruise, room for the mending A softer answer, a little more time A world that bends without breaking [Verse 2] The old man at the corner store Misnames the street, we walk him home The kid who came in wearing armor Leaves with his hands unclenched and open [Chorus] Let there be room to change our minds Room for the bruise, room for the mending A softer answer, a little more time A world that bends without breaking [Bridge] If I have kept a score of wrongs I’ll tear the paper, start again You can come back with all your pieces We’ll set a chair beside the rain [Final Chorus] Let there be room to change our minds Room for the bruise, room for the mending A softer answer, a little more time A world that bends without breaking [Outro] A place to start again A place to start again
