Keep Your Word

מילים

[Verse 1] First light cuts across the kitchen floor Shoelaces tight, I’m out the door Notebook folded in my jacket seam Small steps adding up to something clean Bus rolls by, I catch the next one down Got a little plan and a patient sound No big talk, just the work I do One good choice, then another one too [Chorus] Keep your word, keep your pace Make a little room, make a little space Step by step, let the whole thing grow You can build more than you used to know [Verse 2] At the corner shop, I greet the man He says, “Keep going,” I say, “That’s the plan” Rain on my sleeves, still I hold my course Turn a slow day into forward force When a door shuts, I don’t lose my aim Learn one thing, then I try again Share what I’ve got, let a friend shine too There’s enough good work for a whole crew [Chorus] Keep your word, keep your pace Make a little room, make a little space Step by step, let the whole thing grow You can build more than you used to know [Bridge] If the road gets long, take a breath, look ahead Keep the kind thought, keep the promise you said Every small effort has a place to land A better tomorrow starts close at hand [Chorus] Keep your word, keep your pace Make a little room, make a little space Step by step, let the whole thing grow You can build more than you used to know [Outro] One good choice, then another one too Keep your word, and keep coming through
