You Make Room

[Verse 1]
You held the elevator with your coffee going cold
Made room for the new kid carrying a box of files
You showed her where the spare keys hang beside the old coat
She learned the names, then found a way to make the whole place smile

[Pre-Chorus]
A little trust can travel farther than a favor asked
One open hand can turn a locked door into a path

[Chorus]
Give a little good, watch the good come round
One small yes can lift somebody off the ground
When you make a place for another to begin
They remember how it felt, and they invite you in
Pass the chance along, let the circle grow
Every door you hold becomes a door you know

[Verse 2]
You stayed to walk the intern through the numbers on the page
She caught the flaw that would've cost the team a month
At Friday's table, she saved you a seat beside the sage
By Monday, both your names were on the project up front

[Pre-Chorus]
No grand design, just showing up and doing what you can
A steady kind of generosity makes allies where it lands

[Chorus]
Give a little good, watch the good come round
One small yes can lift somebody off the ground
When you make a place for another to begin
They remember how it felt, and they invite you in
Pass the chance along, let the circle grow
Every door you hold becomes a door you know

[Bridge]
Not a bargain, not a tally on a page
Just the way we keep each other from getting turned away
You lend your name, you share the map, you say, “Come sit with us”
And later, when your hands are full, they make a little room

[Final Chorus]
Give a little good, watch the good come round
One small yes can lift a whole team off the ground
When you make a place for another to begin
They remember how it felt, and they invite you in
Pass the chance along, let the circle grow
Every door you hold becomes a door you know
Give a little good—let it travel, let it spread
A thousand new beginnings from the kind words that you said

[Outro]
You make room, they make room
That’s how a way gets made
You make room, they make room
And nobody walks alone
