[Verse 1]
Tiny paws on a cold floor
Big eyes pressed to a metal door
You walk in
And the world shifts
One kind smile can be a gift
[Pre-Chorus]
It doesn’t take a cape to save
Just a hand
Just a brave
Little word
Little move today
We can be the light in their darkest place
[Chorus]
We can be the hope for dogs and cats
Open up our homes
Open up our hands
If you can’t rescue
You can still stand
Give a little time
Give what you can
Or just choose kindness
Every small act
We can be the hope for dogs and cats (oh yeah)
We can be the hope
We can be the hope like that
[Verse 2]
Old scars
But their hearts heal
They learn trust by the way you kneel
Soft voice in the midnight
Turns fear into a new life
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bowl filled up with food
Every blanket
Every “you’re good”
Every share
Every quiet pray
Pushes all the hurt a step away
[Chorus]
We can be the hope for dogs and cats
Open up our homes
Open up our hands
If you can’t rescue
You can still stand
Give a little time
Give what you can
Or just choose kindness
Every small act
We can be the hope for dogs and cats (hey!)
We can be the hope
We can be the hope like that
[Bridge]
Maybe you can’t take one home
But you’re never helpless
Never alone
You can give
You can speak
You can show
Love is a ripple
Let it grow (let it grow)
[Chorus]
We can be the hope for dogs and cats
Open up our homes
Open up our hands
If you can’t rescue
You can still stand
Give a little time
Give what you can
Or just choose kindness
Every small act
We can be the hope for dogs and cats
We can be the hope
We can be the hope like that
(We can be the hope, we can be the hope like that)
