[Verse 1]
Bare feet on the concrete
Pocket full of summer
I used to build a kingdom
Out of chalk and thunder
No one told me then
How heavy growing gets
But I still keep that kid
In the back of my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the feed moves fast
And the world feels loud
But I still want a life
That I can be proud of
Hold me close, hold me true
We’re all just trying to make it through
[Chorus]
Keep the heart wide open
Keep the hands unbroken
We were made for more
Than the fear we’re holdin'
Love is not a slogan
Love is how we go on
Keep the heart wide open
Keep the hands unbroken
[Verse 2]
Now I’m texting my friends
From a crowded train
We’re trading tiny dreams
Like they’re candy again
I miss that fearless kid
Who’d climb every fence
Now I’m learning peace
Takes a lot of sense
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, the same old hurt
Still tries to divide
But I’d rather build a bridge
Than pick a side
Say my name, say yours too
We all bleed blue and bruise
[Chorus]
Keep the heart wide open
Keep the hands unbroken
We were made for more
Than the fear we’re holdin'
Love is not a slogan
Love is how we go on
Keep the heart wide open
Keep the hands unbroken
[Bridge]
If we lose our way
Let the small things stay
Cracked-up sidewalks
And a game we made
I still believe
In a world that shares
One table, one truth
More grace, more care
[Final Chorus]
Keep the heart wide open
Keep the hands unbroken
We were made for more
Than the fear we’re holdin'
Love is not a slogan
Love is how we go on
Keep the heart wide open
Keep the hands unbroken
