Lyrics
[verse]
I saw a stranger stop to help a fallen man
Saw a kid share half of all he had in hand
Small things that nobody claps for or films
Quiet kindness moving through the world at will
Made me think about the noise we chase instead
Of the kind of love that's simple, warm, and unsaid
[chorus]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone helped and nobody lied
If every hand reached out instead of turned away
Maybe we'd wake up to a better day
If everyone cared the way that they could
The whole wide world might finally feel good
[verse]
I've seen the wars that start from a single word
Seen the walls built higher than they should've been heard
But I've also seen a stranger carry someone's weight
Seen forgiveness show up long after the hate
It's not some far off dream too big to hold
It starts with just one story, gently told
[chorus]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone helped and nobody lied
If every hand reached out instead of turned away
Maybe we'd wake up to a better day
If everyone cared the way that they could
The whole wide world might finally feel good
[bridge]
So I'll start with the corner where I stand
Try to be the reason, try to be the hand
Maybe it's small, maybe it's slow
But that's exactly how the good things grow
[chorus]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone helped and nobody lied
If every hand reached out instead of turned away
Maybe we'd wake up to a better day
If everyone cared the way that they could
The whole wide world might finally feel good
