Leave More Kindness There

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coat beside the door And noticed mine was torn You stitched the sleeve while water boiled Before the early morn No grand parade, no perfect words Just room enough to stay You made the hardest hour softer In your ordinary way [Pre-Chorus] A little patience, a hand held near Can make a heavy heart feel heard [Chorus] Love is the door we hold open Compassion, the time that we give A place at the table, a shoulder to lean on A reason to try once again When the road is too long for one traveler When the load is too much to bear We can carry a little together And leave more kindness there [Verse 2] You learned the name the neighbors use For the boy across the hall You waited while he found the words And never rushed him at all A bowl of soup, a ride back home A note that says, “I’m here” The smallest acts can cross the miles And make a stranger near [Pre-Chorus] A little patience, a hand held near Can make a heavy heart feel heard [Chorus] Love is the door we hold open Compassion, the time that we give A place at the table, a shoulder to lean on A reason to try once again When the road is too long for one traveler When the load is too much to bear We can carry a little together And leave more kindness there [Bridge] If your voice is tired, borrow mine If your hope runs low, take some of mine No one should have to face the dark alone We make a home wherever care is shown [Final Chorus] Love is the door we hold open Compassion, the time that we give A place at the table, a shoulder to lean on A reason to try once again When the road is too long for one traveler When the load is too much to bear We can carry a little together And leave more kindness there [Outro] We can carry a little together And leave more kindness there
