Let Goodness Stay

[Verse 1]
When the whole world hardens, you leave the door unlatched,
A little bread, a softer word, a hand that doesn’t ask.
“Let goodness stay, my dear,” you whisper through the night,
And somehow even tired hearts remember how to try.

[Chorus]
Let goodness stay, my dear, let it live in what we do,
A little kindness passing from my hands to you.

[Verse 2]
You save a seat for someone with nowhere left to go,
You make a home of ordinary things the cold can’t own.
No grand promise, no parade—just showing up again,
The quiet kind of love that mends what life has bent.

[Bridge]
If all I leave behind is one heart less alone,
Then goodness had a place to live, and kindness found a home.

[Outro]
Let goodness stay, my dear—
Let it start right here.
