One Table, Many Hands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nine nakeyi, gather close today Ataimakmon, pass the bread this way One small table, many hands to fill Every empty place belongs here still [Pre-Chorus] Bring what you have, bring what you know Leave a little room and watch it grow [Chorus] Nine nakeyi, we share what we can Ataimakmon, hand to hand No one stands outside the circle we make There is enough when we give, not take [Verse 2] A blue cup waits beside the wooden bowl A quiet laugh loosens every soul You bring water, I bring fruit and rice Kindness turns an ordinary night to life [Pre-Chorus] Bring what you have, bring what you know Leave a little room and watch it grow [Chorus] Nine nakeyi, we share what we can Ataimakmon, hand to hand No one stands outside the circle we make There is enough when we give, not take [Bridge] If your road was long, sit down If your pockets are bare, stay around Tomorrow we may need the same open door So we keep one place, and make one more [Final Chorus] Nine nakeyi, we share what we can Ataimakmon, hand to hand No one stands outside the circle we make There is enough when we give, not take Nine nakeyi, let the whole room say Ataimakmon, sharing every day [Outro] Nine nakeyi Ataimakmon One table, many hands
