[Intro]
Three niños by the roadside, whispers in the wind
A question slips from childlike lips again
[Verse 1]
Hey, what makes the gates swing open wide?
Is it brave or kind or the truth we hide?
A voice says mercy, a smile says try
Dreams like kites in a blue, patient sky
[Pre-Chorus]
What will heaven see in our small hands?
What will they say when we take a stand?
[Chorus]
Who goes to heaven, who stays on the road?
Who carries the light when the night grows cold?
If love is the map, then surely we know
It’s the gentle hearts that carry us home
[Verse 2]
They count the stars, they measure the rain
But grace is softer than a whisper’s refrain
We learn to listen, we learn to care
To share our bread and to always be there
[Pre-Chorus]
Will mercy be the lantern that guides our feet?
Will kindness echo when our hands we greet?
[Chorus]
Who goes to heaven, who stays on the road?
Who carries the light when the night grows cold?
If love is the map, then surely we know
It’s the gentle hearts that carry us home
[Bridge]
Not in fame or gold, but in the way we bend
To lift a friend up when the road won’t end
[Chorus]
Who goes to heaven, who stays on the road?
Who carries the light when the night grows cold?
If love is the map, then surely we know
It’s the gentle hearts that carry us home
[Outro]
Three niños by the roadside, questions in the air
Maybe heaven’s found in the way we care
