Nine Nakeyi

Letra

[Verse 1] Nine nakeyi, carry what you can A little bread, a little time, an open hand By the doorway, morning finds us there Every small kindness becomes a chair [Pre-Chorus] If your cup is nearly full Pour a little, don’t hold back What we give returns as hope Traveling the same bright track [Chorus] Share it, share it, let the good pass through What I have is more when I give to you Nine nakeyi, call the neighbors near One voice becomes a gathering, one smile becomes a year [Verse 2] Nine nakeyi, bring the table wide Leave a place for every heart that walks inside Someone brings a song, someone brings a flame No one leaves with less than when they came [Pre-Chorus] If your hands are tired and worn Take a little from my own We can lift the heaviest load When we never lift alone [Chorus] Share it, share it, let the good pass through What I have is more when I give to you Nine nakeyi, call the neighbors near One voice becomes a gathering, one smile becomes a year [Bridge] Not the size of what we bring Not the shine of anything Just the promise, day by day No one standing far away [Final Chorus] Share it, share it, let the good pass through What I have is more when I give to you Nine nakeyi, keep the circle clear One voice becomes a gathering, one smile becomes a year [Outro] Nine nakeyi, carry what you can An open heart, an open hand
