Things seemed strange this morning
As I packed my bag for school
The smiles Im used to seeing just werent there
I heard my father talking
To my mother down the hallway
Above the whispers all that I could hear was
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 theres a place at your table
Theres a little hope for you and I
I was feeling kind of 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 theres something I can do
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 theres a place at your table
Theres 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
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 theres a place at your table
Theres a little hope for you and I
theres a little hope for you and
