A Little Closer

V6

[Verse 1] I want the baker loved before the dawn, The kid who asks why thunder carries on. A stranger at the station, room to speak, A little less certainty, a little less cruel streak. [Pre-Chorus] I know the world won't turn because I wish, Still every small act bends the stubborn hinge. [Chorus] Let everybody be loved, let everybody wonder, Let kindness cross the borders we keep drawing in the sand. It sounds too big, I know, a promise made of air, But ideals show the distance—and the way to meet it there. [Verse 2] Ask one more question; stay when answers sting, Make space at the table, pass the better thing. No perfect map, no finish line to claim, Just choosing, when we can, to change the shape of blame. [Bridge] If hope is only something we can name, Then name it, then get up and take one step the same. [Final Chorus] Let everybody be loved, let everybody wonder, Let kindness cross the borders we keep drawing in the sand. It sounds too big, I know, but dreams can teach our hands To build a little closer to the world we understand. [Outro] A little closer. Start where you stand.
