We Grow Kinder Here

[Verse 1]
You pause beside the words you almost say,
And catch the bruise beneath their sharp disguise.
A little patience changes what can stay;
A face unguarded meets another’s eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]
Not to fix, not to judge,
Just to listen long enough.

[Chorus]
I can feel the weight you carry,
You can hear the hurt in me.
Step by step, we soften edges,
Make a kinder place to be.
When your world is hard to hold,
Let my hands be steady, near.
I can feel the weight you carry—
We grow kinder here.

[Verse 2]
A stranger misses one more turn of sleep,
A friend says “fine” but looks away too soon.
We learn the things a quiet heart can keep,
And answer gently, not with easy tunes.

[Pre-Chorus]
Not to fix, not to judge,
Just to listen long enough.

[Chorus]
I can feel the weight you carry,
You can hear the hurt in me.
Step by step, we soften edges,
Make a kinder place to be.
When your world is hard to hold,
Let my hands be steady, near.
I can feel the weight you carry—
We grow kinder here.

[Bridge]
A softer answer travels farther
Than we know when it begins.

[Final Chorus]
I can feel the weight you carry,
You can hear the hurt in me.
Step by step, we soften edges,
Make a kinder place to be.
When your world is hard to hold,
Let my hands be steady, near.
I can feel the weight you carry—
We grow kinder here.

[Outro]
We grow kinder here.
