Where You Stand

[Verse 1]
You hold your words behind your teeth
While everyone moves on too fast
I catch the pause beneath your smile
And let the silence have its half

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need to know your whole road
Just where the ground gave way
A little care can change the weight
Of what we carry through the day

[Chorus]
If I can feel the world from where you stand
Your hurt is not a distant land
One open heart can turn the tide
And make a gentler world outside
If you can see the ache in me
We build a kinder way to be

[Verse 2]
You tell me what the doctor said
I listen past the practiced line
No fixing every broken thing
Just staying here beside your time

[Pre-Chorus]
A patient ear, a softer answer
A hand that doesn't judge
Small acts gather, step by step
And shift the shape of us

[Chorus]
If I can feel the world from where you stand
Your hurt is not a distant land
One open heart can turn the tide
And make a gentler world outside
If you can see the ache in me
We build a kinder way to be

[Outro]
Where you stand, I try to see
Where I stand, you make room for me
