[Verse 1]
Everybody's tired now
From the weight in the air
Screens full of breaking news
Too much to carry there
Hands in the checkout line
Eyes on the floor, not mine
Still you hold the door
Still you let me in line
[Pre-Chorus]
If the whole sky shakes tonight
Lean on me, lean on me
If your heart runs out of light
Lean on me, lean on me
[Chorus]
Hands up softly
Don’t let go of me
Hands up softly
We can still believe
One small kindness
Cuts through everything
Hands up softly
Let the good hearts sing (good hearts sing)
[Verse 2]
Buses are late again
Rain on the pavement, gray
Someone gives up a seat
And the room shifts that way
A stranger says my name
Like they remember pain
Like we’re all more alike
Than the fear we’ve been trained
[Pre-Chorus]
If the whole sky shakes tonight
Lean on me, lean on me
If your heart runs out of light
Lean on me, lean on me
[Chorus]
Hands up softly
Don’t let go of me
Hands up softly
We can still believe
One small kindness
Cuts through everything
Hands up softly
Let the good hearts sing (good hearts sing)
[Bridge]
Maybe we’re cracked wide open
Maybe that’s how it gets in
The mercy, the open door
The brave little yes again
So if you’re barely standing
Take mine, take mine
We don’t need perfect
Just a little more light
[Final Chorus]
Hands up softly
Don’t let go of me
Hands up softly
We can still believe
One small kindness
Cuts through everything
Hands up softly
Let the good hearts sing (good hearts sing)
Hands up softly
We are not alone
Hands up softly
We can make it home
One small kindness
Cuts through everything
Hands up softly
Let the good hearts sing (good hearts sing)
