Lyric

The elevator came at once

That almost never happens

The corner shop had one meal left

Still warm behind the counter

Outside, every crossing changed

Before the footsteps slowed

At the building door, a neighbor waited

Holding it with one worn shoe

“Made it just in time,” came with a grin

Then both walked through

Nothing big

Nothing planned

Just a few things landing right

Three small wins on the way home

Dinner warm, the doorway held

Three small wins on the way home

A rough day giving something back

Three small wins, that was enough

No speech, no sign, no grand design

Just a few things going right

At exactly the right time

Upstairs, the hallway smelled like dinner

Someone’s radio played low

A grocery bag split near the stairs

Two cans rolled across the floor

The neighbor laughed and caught the last one

Before it reached the lift

For the first time since the afternoon

The phone stayed where it sat

Three small wins on the way home

Dinner warm, the doorway held

Three small wins on the way home

A rough day giving something back

Three small wins, that was enough

No speech, no sign, no grand design

Just a few things going right

At exactly the right time

Shoes beside the doorway

Keys dropped in the bowl

The screen lit once

Then went dark again

Three small wins on the way home

A warm meal, a held door

Three small wins on the way home

Nothing needed any more

Three small wins, that was enough

The day could end without a fight

Just a few things going right

At exactly the right time

The elevator came at once

That still almost never happens
