Lyric

A little early at the station gate

Standing side by side, the building shadows wait

"Good work," you say, a smile within your voice

And deep inside my chest, I feel my heart rejoice

Maybe there’s no reason, no need to explain

If I tried to put it into words, it would drain

But I’m breathing easier than yesterday

That’s all I know, and that’s enough to say

A gentle chain reaction is changing me

Without my knowing, my voice flows so free

I walk in a way that avoids all the pain

Of touching someone’s wounds in the sun or the rain

Every time I think of you, I choose again (Oh)

A gentle chain reaction is turning the gray

Into colors that soften and light up the way

On my way home, tired faces pass me by

Before, they were just scenery beneath the sky

But now I match my steps, just for a while

Without meeting their eyes, I soften my smile

I haven’t done anything grand or profound

But a different me is on solid ground

Since the day you came, my words that I choose

Are a little calmer, I win and I lose

A gentle chain reaction is changing me

So no sharp words are said for the world to see

I take a deep breath before I speak again

Remembering you, I blush and I grin (Yeah)

A gentle chain reaction is helping the world

To find a softer rhythm, no longer swirled
