Hold to the Next Small Thing

[Verse 1]
The forecast folded in your coat
Rain kept tapping at the glass
You read the same old warning twice
And let the minutes pass

[Pre-Chorus]
But under all that heavy news
A small thing held its ground
The kettle clicked, the bread was warm
Your feet were on the ground

[Chorus]
When the road disappears from view
Hold to the next small thing you can do
A hand to hold, a door to try
The morning waits beyond the sky
When every answer slips away
Hope is the choice we make today

[Verse 2]
The clinic hall was painted green
A paper cup cooled in your hand
You called your sister from the stairs
She said, “I understand”

[Pre-Chorus]
No promise came to smooth the edges
No map arrived on time
Just one more breath, one steady step
And her voice answering mine

[Chorus]
When the road disappears from view
Hold to the next small thing you can do
A hand to hold, a door to try
The morning waits beyond the sky
When every answer slips away
Hope is the choice we make today

[Bridge]
Not because the dark is over
Not because we know the end
But because a light in one room
Can help another heart mend

[Final Chorus]
When the road disappears from view
Hold to the next small thing you can do
A hand to hold, a door to try
The morning waits beyond the sky
When every answer slips away
Hope is the choice we make today
Hope is the choice we make today

[Outro]
One more breath
One more step
We are here
We are here
