[Verse 1] You keep your hands half-closed Like a prayer you won't release I saw your name on every road But never rest in peace You want the gold, the glow You want a room full of your dreams But every step you take to grow Leaves a bruise inside the seams [Chorus] What if you turned that palm Open to the rain What if your smallest loss Could break somebody's chain What if you gave? What if you gave? (what if you gave) What if your grace Hit like a wave? (like a wave) What if you gave More than you saved? What if your dream Lit someone safe? [Verse 2] A little bread, a little time A coat left on the chair A phone call at the edge of night Saying, "I'm still here" A spark in a stranger's chest A light inside their room You chase the future hard enough You might forget who's carrying you [Chorus] What if your open hand Became the reason why Somebody who was sinking Looked up and learned to try What if you gave? (what if you gave) What if you gave? (what if you gave) What if your grace (What if your grace) Hit like a wave? (like a wave) What if you gave (what if you gave) More than you saved? (~you gave) What if your dream (What if your dream) Lit someone safe? [Bridge] And if your hope came down Like water in a drought Would you still need less If you let it out? A comet through the dark Not made to stay Just bright enough to wake A life before it fades [Chorus] What if you gave? (what if you gave) What if you gave? (what if you gave) What if your grace (What if your grace) Hit like a wave? (like a wave) What if you gave (what if you gave) More than you saved? (you saved) What if your dream (what if your dream) Lit someone safe?
