We don't deserve all we get
Always a work in progress
But that doesn't change
Damages need to be addressed

Walking along and struggle
Forgetting there's so much more
Until we lose it
Then we treasure, then we adore

So look in his eyes
That man next to you
Look for his surprise
And hold her hand
That woman who tries
Reach out and find
We're in it together
Listen and learn
How it opens your mind


Make the journey easier
Take the hand of one smaller
Show them so grandly
How giving turns to walking taller

When all is done, nothing's said
And they will bring you back home
One smile turns around
A tethered heart can find feedom

So look in his eyes
That man next to you
Look for his surprise
And hold her hand
That woman who tries
Reach out and find
We're in it together
Listen and learn
How it opens your mind

Put your pain all to the side
Look past your two feet in front
Come on and help me
Dare to care, be so redundant
