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

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 A 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 Somethin' I Can Do

Chorus

Make Room At Your Table For Your Friends And Family
Take The Time To Share Your Day, Just Laugh Talk And Eat

Chorus

...there's A Little Hope For You And I
