Every Stranger Has a Name

[Verse 1]
You arrive with a storm you can't name,
I won't ask you to fold it away.
I can listen and stay where you are,
Let the silence take its time.

[Pre-Chorus]
Not to fix, not to judge,
Just to see what the hurt is asking of us.

[Chorus]
If I feel the weight you carry,
I can meet you halfway there.
One small kindness turns the current,
One kind heart can change the air.
When we learn to hold each other,
Every stranger has a name.
Empathy is how we practice
Making gentleness our way.

[Verse 2]
You tell me the day went wrong,
I don't rush to make it right.
I remember how it feels
When someone hears you through the night.

[Pre-Chorus]
Not to fix, not to judge,
Just to see what the hurt is asking of us.

[Chorus]
If I feel the weight you carry,
I can meet you halfway there.
One small kindness turns the current,
One kind heart can change the air.
When we learn to hold each other,
Every stranger has a name.
Empathy is how we practice
Making gentleness our way.

[Bridge]
A softer answer, a patient pause,
A hand that doesn't turn away.
We build a kinder world in moments,
Choice by choice, and day by day.

[Final Chorus]
If I feel the weight you carry,
I can meet you halfway there.
One small kindness turns the current,
One kind heart can change the air.
When we learn to hold each other,
Every stranger has a name.
Empathy is how we practice
Making gentleness our way.
[Outro]
Choice by choice, and day by day.
