How much does it take to get a person to smile

Or listen to somebody rant for a little while

How long does it take to say something sweet

Or be grateful for someone's heartbeat

To stare out the window and see so much light

And watch stars twinkling against the sky at night

How much does it take to listen to a story

And let someone else take a little bit of glory

To light up the world for someone else's day

Or hold back the words that you want to say

Sometimes we forget the little things

And how much hope to somebody it brings
