THE PEOPLE I HAVEN’T MET YET

[Intro: shimmering synth, train wheels]

[Verse 1]
Somewhere there’s a stranger laughing
At a joke I haven’t heard
Someone has a favorite story
Still completely without words

Someone walking through a city
Has no idea I exist
And perhaps a year from now
I’ll know the shape of how they kiss

[Chorus]
HERE’S TO THE PEOPLE I HAVEN’T MET YET
THE WORLDS I HAVEN’T SEEN

The conversations waiting
In the spaces in between

I love the hearts already near me
But life keeps opening the gate

How can I pretend my story’s finished
When connection still awaits?

[Bridge]
It doesn’t make today’s love smaller
To admit tomorrow’s unknown
The heart can honor where it’s living
While remaining free to grow

[Final Chorus]
HERE’S TO THE PEOPLE I HAVEN’T MET YET
AND EVERYONE I LOVE TODAY

May no new light erase an old one
May they simply find their place

[Outro]
Somewhere
another hello is coming.
