歌詞

Morning on the stairwell

Shoelaces in a knot

You spill your plans like coins

I help you gather what you’ve got

The kettle makes its little song

The window shows a thaw

We share the last clean plate

And call that enough of a law

Take it slow

Take it kind

Carry light

Leave fear behind

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

Hands full, hearts awake

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

One step, then another

We make it through the day

At noon the break room hums

With papers and a grin

You pass me half your sandwich

And ask if I’m still in

The clock can bite and bark

The mail can pile like sand

But a softer word can steady

The weight inside your hand

Take it slow

Take it kind

Sharp words fade

When we align

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

Hands full, hearts awake

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

One step, then another

We make it through the day

Evening on the corner

Rain taps the bus stop sign

You laugh with tired shoulders

And lean your sleeve on mine

The street vendor packs up oranges

The dogs all head back home

I say your name, you answer

Like neither of us walks alone

Take it slow

Take it kind

Soft returns

Can change the mind

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

Hands full, hearts awake

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

One step, then another

We make it through the day

On a holiday morning

The kettle and the sun

You dance in socks across the tile

Like work has finally run

We don’t need gold balloons

Or perfect, polished plans

Just bread, a song, your smile

And tea between our hands

Take it slow

Take it kind

Let the small good

Change your mind

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

Hands full, hearts awake

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

One step, then another

We make it through the day

When the warning signs come flashing

In the talk and in the rush

We don’t have to run from loving

Or let the hard things crush

Choose the lane, check the mirrors

Keep your eyes on what is true

A careful heart can still be open

And still keep walking through

Nighttime, quiet hallway

Shoes lined up in a row

We breathe like we are learning

A way to let it go

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

Hands full, hearts awake

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

Young and old together

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

We make it through the day

One step, then another

We make it through the day

Morning, evening, midnight

We still find the way

Not perfect, just moving

And healing by the day
