Keep a Place for Me

[Verse 1]
When the morning takes its time to find the room
And yesterday still hangs its coat upon the gloom
You reach for me; I take your hand
We make a little shelter where we stand

[Pre-Chorus]
One breath, then another
A small spark we can trust
Even when the road is covered
There is still a way through us

[Chorus]
Hope, keep a place for me
Hold the door wide open
When I can’t see what’s ahead
Be the word I’m holding
Hope, I’m not letting go
Step by step, we’re growing
From the ground we thought was bare
Something good is showing

[Verse 2]
There’s a note you left beside the kettle: “Try”
In your careful handwriting, blue and slightly dry
I read it when the day runs thin
And feel the strength come back again

[Pre-Chorus]
One breath, then another
A small spark we can trust
Even when the road is covered
There is still a way through us

[Chorus]
Hope, keep a place for me
Hold the door wide open
When I can’t see what’s ahead
Be the word I’m holding
Hope, I’m not letting go
Step by step, we’re growing
From the ground we thought was bare
Something good is showing

[Bridge]
If your hands are tired, lean on mine
We don’t need the whole way mapped tonight
Just the next kind thing, the next small mile
And a reason to stay for a little while

[Final Chorus]
Hope, keep a place for us
Hold the door wide open
When we can’t see what’s ahead
Be the word we’re holding
Hope, we’re not letting go
Step by step, we’re growing
From the ground we thought was bare
Something good is showing

[Outro]
Something good is showing
We are still becoming
