Set A Place At Your Table lyrics

Things seemed 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... was

[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 awhile

When there's a place at your table

There's a little hope for you and I

I was feeling kinda' helpless

About the words that I just heard

Could it be the family 2 doors down?

They said a couple months of bad luck

Had them up against the wall

And though it may seem small

I know there's somethin' 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 awhile

When there's a place at your table

There's a little hope for you and I

Make room at your table for your friends and family

Take the time to share your day, just laugh, talk and eat

[Chorus]

Set a place at the table for someone who might need it

Set a place at your table for someone to sit down and eat

Kick their shoes off, put their feet up

Forget about their troubles for awhile

When there's a place at your table

There's a little hope for you and I

...there's a little hope for you and
