[Verse 1]
A coffee paid for at the counter
A stranger saying my name
A hand on my shoulder in the darkness
When I thought that no one came
A note tucked under my windshield
A smile from across the room
Small as a match in December
Still enough to light the gloom
[Pre Chorus}
You never know What a kind word can do
Sometimes a heart finds hope, because of you
[Chorus]
Hold the door open
Pass the mercy on
One small moment
And the hurt feels gone
Hold the door open
Let the light come through
We make this world kinder
By what we do
[Verse 2]
A neighbor with soup on the front steps
At a house most people pass by
It's never the grand and famous
That leaves the deepest mark
It’s the ones who carry lanterns
And leaves them in the dark
The ones who leave love in the cracks
So the broken things can bloom
[Pre-Chorus]
You never know
Who’s barely hanging on
A little grace
Can keep a heart going strong
[Chorus]
Hold the door open
Pass the mercy on
One small moment
And the hurt feels gone
Hold the door open
Let the light come through
We make this world kinder
By what we do
[Bridge]
If I’m remembered
When my days are through
I hope they say I left a little room
For someone to get through
A handheld steady
A safe place to land
That’s how heaven shows up
In a human hand
[Chorus]
Hold the door open
Pass the mercy on
One small moment
And the hurt feels gone
Hold the door open
Let the light come through
We make this world kinder
By what we do
[Outro]
Because you were here
A life was changed
And the world was better ...
Because you were here
