Wherever Kindness Is Shown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the kitchen sink A little ring of tea, a little time to think The morning bus was late, but nobody complained We shared one folded paper while the summer started rain [Pre-Chorus] If the road gets rough beneath your shoes Take my hand, we have less to lose [Chorus] Hold on, brother, hold on tight Keep one good word for the longest night Step by step, we’ll carry on The door is open when the fear is gone Hold on, sister, lift your eyes There’s a field beyond these tired replies No one walks this road alone We make a little home wherever kindness is shown [Verse 2] Old Mr. Clarke brought oranges from his yard Said, “Take what you need; the growing isn’t hard” A child chalked a yellow sun beside the corner store And every passing neighbor added something more [Pre-Chorus] When the weight comes down and the hours move slow Give what you can, and let the small things grow [Chorus] Hold on, brother, hold on tight Keep one good word for the longest night Step by step, we’ll carry on The door is open when the fear is gone Hold on, sister, lift your eyes There’s a field beyond these tired replies No one walks this road alone We make a little home wherever kindness is shown [Bridge] Not every answer comes at once Not every seed breaks through the dust But somewhere under patient ground A quiet root is reaching out [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Hold on, brother, hold on tight Keep one good word for the longest night Step by step, we’ll carry on The door is open when the fear is gone Hold on, sister, lift your eyes There’s a field beyond these tired replies No one walks this road alone We make a little home wherever kindness is shown [Outro] Wherever kindness is shown We make a little home
