[Verse 1] You spit your thorns Call it truth Call it courage But your eyes Never learned the shape of mercy I watch you break Every cup that tries to hold you Shards on the floor Still I sweep them up in silence [Chorus] Blind-hearted I forgive you For the harm you never see Every cut you leave inside me Turns to light Turns to seed I will answer hate with blessing Till your shadows start to fade Small kindness in the corners Is the bridge that we have made [Verse 2] You curse the rain Then beg the sky for water You slam the door On the ones who’d share your bread I fold your name Into prayers you’ll never hear Set them adrift Like candles on a riverbed [Chorus] Blind-hearted I forgive you For the harm you never see Every cut you leave inside me Turns to light Turns to seed I will answer hate with blessing Till your shadows start to fade Small kindness in the corners Is the bridge that we have made [Bridge] A chair pulled out A hand that doesn’t tremble (come and sit) Soup on the stove When the day has bled you dry A whispered “stay” To the one who feels disposable A quiet “me too” To the one who wants to die [Chorus] Blind-hearted I forgive you For the harm you never see Every bruise upon my spirit Beats in time Learns to breathe We will answer hurt with blessing Till our shadows start to fade Small kindness in the corners Is the bridge that we have made [Outro] So when you fall On the road you paved with anger I’ll be there Holding out an open palm (oh, I’ll be there) Because love is just A thousand little surrenders And forgiveness Is the home we build from harm
