Set a Place at Your Table

[Verse 1]
Things seem strange this morning
As I packed my bag for school
The smiles I'm used to seeing just weren't there
I heard my father talking to my mother down the hallway
Above the whispers all that I could hear

[Chorus]
Set a place at the table, for someone who might need it
Set a place at the table, for someone to sit down and eat
Kick their shoes off, put their feet up
Forget about their troubles for a while
When there's a place at your table
There's a little hope for you and I

[Verse 2]
I was feeling kinda helpless
Like the words that I just heard
Could it be the family two doors down?
They said a couple months of bad luck
Had them up against the world
And though it may seem small
I know there's something I can do

[Chorus]
Set a place at the table, for someone who might need it
Set a place at the table, for someone to sit down and eat
Kick their shoes off, put their feet up
Forget about their troubles for a while
When there's a place at your table
There's a little hope for you and I

[Bridge]
There's room at the table
When the table's set with love
There's room at the table
When the table's set with love

[Chorus]
Set a place at the table, for someone who might need it
Set a place at the table, for someone to sit down and eat
Kick their shoes off, put their feet up
Forget about their troubles for a while
When there's a place at your table
There's a little hope for you and I
