Food From The Soul

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You tied that apron at the break of day Flour on your cheek, humming while you worked away Onions in the skillet, Sunday in the air Every little stir said, “Love is waiting there” [Pre-Chorus] You never needed silver, never needed gold You fed a hungry heart before the plate was full [Chorus] This food is from the soul Made with a little patience, made with a whole lotta hope Pass it down, let the good times roll Every bite tells a story only love can know This food is from the soul From your hands to my heart, that’s the way it goes Raise a spoon, let the whole room know We’re giving what we’ve got, and it’s coming from the soul [Verse 2] Grandma had a recipe written on a card Corners curled and faded, but the meaning wasn’t hard A pinch of Sunday laughter, two cups of “stay awhile” And somehow every table found a reason to smile [Pre-Chorus] You never measured kindness, never counted every cost You made a feast from little, and nobody felt lost [Chorus] This food is from the soul Made with a little patience, made with a whole lotta hope Pass it down, let the good times roll Every bite tells a story only love can know This food is from the soul From your hands to my heart, that’s the way it goes Raise a spoon, let the whole room know We’re giving what we’ve got, and it’s coming from the soul [Bridge] [Lead] Who put the joy in the pot? [Choir] Love did, love did! [Lead] Who kept the family tied in a knot? [Choir] Love did, love did! [Lead] When the cupboard looked low, what did we find? [Choir] A generous heart and a whole lot of time! [All] Pull up a chair, there’s enough for you The best thing on the table is what we do [Final Chorus] This food is from the soul Made with a little patience, made with a whole lotta hope Pass it down, let the good times roll Every bite tells a story only love can know This food is from the soul From your hands to my heart, that’s the way it goes Raise a spoon, let the whole room know We’re giving what we’ve got, and it’s coming from the soul [Outro] From the soul, from the soul Come on in, there’s room at the table From the soul, from the soul Love makes every little flavor able From the soul
