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

(Refrain:)
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

I was feeling king of helpless
About 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 wall
And though it may seem small

I know there´s something i can do

(refrain)
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

Make room at your table for your friends and family
Take the time to share your day, just laugh talk and eat

(refrain)

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)

...there´s a little hope for you and I

Oo ooo
