[Intro] [Melodic bass line in 5/4, shifting to 9/4] [Verse] Every seed of grace you sow in the dust Every quiet hand that you choose to trust It goes spinning out through the open space Rippling through time, leaving behind a trace [Chorus] What you put out comes back around An echo rising up from the ground The kindness you give, the light that you send Returns to lift you up in the end Yeah, it returns to lift you up in the end [Bridge] [Intricate fretless slap bass solo, shifting time signatures, brass accents] A gentle word in a heavy hour Grows and blooms with quiet power Nothing is lost, nothing fades away [Chorus] What you put out comes back around An echo rising up from the ground The kindness you give, the light that you send Returns to lift you up in the end [Outro] [Melodic brass and bass fade, resolving time signature] It returns to you... What you put out... Kindness returns.
