Sing-along
Full text
Verse 1
Porch light glowing through the curtains
Half past ten on a Thursday night
Neighbor’s car broke down few blocks over
So I drove out to give him a ride
He talked most of the way home softly
About his mom not doing well
I mostly listened at the stoplights
While summer air moved through the vents
Chorus
Maybe light looks like a window
Somebody forgot to close
Warm against the dark outside there
Helping strangers find the road
Maybe grace ain’t loud or shining
Maybe it moves small and slow
Like leaving the light on for somebody
You might never really know
Verse 2
Extra chair still at the table
Phone still charging by the bed
Try to answer when people call now
Even when I’m tired instead
Funny how the world grows gentler
When you stop guarding every part
Turns out most people are carrying something
Heavy somewhere in their heart
Chorus
Maybe light looks like a window
Soft against the midnight rain
Something steady in the distance
When the whole world feels uncertain again
Maybe kindness keeps on traveling
Long after the words are gone
Like somebody leaving the front porch light
For another weary soul
Bridge
Used to think you had to change the whole world
To mean something in the end
Now I think it might be smaller
And somehow deeper then
Maybe love looks like remembering
Who was quiet in the room
Or staying after everybody leaves
To help stack chairs up two by two
Final Chorus
Maybe light looks like a kitchen
Still awake at half past one
Coffee brewing for a tired friend
Who finally needed someone
Maybe hope survives in small things
People almost overlook
Like porch lights burning in the distance
Or somebody saying, “Take your time, I’ll wait up.”
Outro
Porch light glowing through the window
Night air cooling off the street
Whole neighborhood breathing slowly
Like the world’s become a little more at peace
