Hands That Hold

Saw a stranger kneel to tie a young boy s shoes Rain coming down on a Tuesday afternoon Somebody laughed and handed him their coat No big speech just warmth spreading through the cold I don t know much But I know what I saw Love in the cracks When the walls wanna fall You don t need a reason to be kind A little light travels miles and miles Somebody somewhere catchin a smile That s how we turn the tide Hands that hold the world don t make a sound They just show up when it all breaks down Folding grace in the lost and found That s how we turn it round Kitchen table talk past midnight again A neighbor checkin in on a struggling friend No cameras no crowd just soup in a bowl Quiet mercy digging deep in the soul I don t know much But I know what I saw Love in the cracks When the walls wanna fall You don t need a reason to be kind A little light travels miles and miles Somebody somewhere catchin a smile That s how we turn the tide Hands that hold the world don t make a sound They just show up when it all breaks down Folding grace in the lost and found That s how we turn it round What if the smallest mercy is the biggest thing What if a stranger s shoulder makes a kingdom ring Not for the glory not for the name Just love spillin over again and again You don t need a reason to be kind A little light travels miles and miles Somebody somewhere catchin a smile That s how we turn the tide Hands that hold the world don t make a sound They just show up when it all breaks down Folding grace in the lost and found That s how we turn it round No big speech just warmth spreading through the cold That s how we turn it round
