Set A Place At Your Table

Set A Place At Your Table Lyrics

Things seemed strange this morning
As I packed my bags for school
The smiles I'm used to seein' 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 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 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 awhile
When there's a place at your table
There's 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 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 little hope for you and I

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