A Little More Room

[Verse 1]
You held the door when my hands were full
Said my name when the room went dull
Left the last orange on the kitchen plate
Small things arrive before it’s too late

You asked how I was, then waited there
Long enough for the honest answer to appear
I took that patience out into the day
And gave it to somebody on the way

[Pre-Chorus]
One open hand can change the shape
Of what another hand will make

[Chorus]
Kindness travels farther than we know
Passed from heart to heart, it starts to grow
What you give comes back in what we share
A richer world is built by how we care

[Verse 2]
You brought warm bread to the upstairs room
Where Mrs. Alvarez nursed her winter bloom
She saved a slice for the courier downstairs
Who called his sister just to say he cares

A child saw that, and offered her seat
To a tired man with rain on his sleeves
He smiled at the child, she smiled at me
That’s how a town becomes what it can be

[Pre-Chorus]
No grand design, no golden key
Just you making room for me

[Chorus]
Kindness travels farther than we know
Passed from heart to heart, it starts to grow
What you give comes back in what we share
A richer world is built by how we care

[Bridge]
Not a bargain, not a debt
Not a kindness to forget
Just a little more room at the table
A chance to begin again, when able

[Final Chorus]
Kindness travels farther than we know
Passed from heart to heart, it starts to grow
Every welcome makes the circle wide
Every gentle act leaves more inside
What you give comes back in what we share
A richer world is built by how we care

[Outro]
You made room for me
I’ll make room for you
