Lyrics
[Verse 1]
City lights aglow, late night shift,
Uber driver on a quiet drift.
Arrives at an address, honks the horn,
Waiting for a rider at the break of morn.
[Verse 2]
Minutes tick, he honks once more,
Thinks of leaving, then walks to the door.
Knocks gently, heart a little unsure,
What awaits him on the other side of the door?
[Pre-Chorus]
A frail voice whispers, "Just a minute, dear."
The door creaks open, revealing a sight so clear:
A tiny woman, ninety years bright,
Print dress, pillbox hat, stories about to come to light.
[Chorus]
"Could you carry my bag?" a twinkle in her eye
He helps her out, with a warmth that can't deny
"Kindness matters," he says, a truth so clear
"Treat you like I'd want, with respectful care"
[Verse 3]
"Downtown please," a smile on her face
Not the fastest route, setting a new pace
"No hurry," she says, eyes filled with light
“One last ride”, reminiscing the night
[Pre-Chorus]
No family left, a doctor's decree
Time's fading fast, like leaves from a tree
He shuts off the meter, compassion in his gaze,
"What route would you like?" a silent promise conveyed.
[Chorus]
They weave through the city, memories ignite,
The building where she once ran the elevator, gleaming anew.
Neighborhoods where love bloomed brand new,
And a ballroom transformed, a memory peeking through.
[Bridge]
Approaching the hospice, the final destination near,
"How much do I owe?" her voice choked with a tear.
"Nothing at all," he whispers, meter erased,
A hug exchanged, a bond forever embraced.
[Chorus]
"You gave me such joy," a whisper so faint
In that fleeting moment, their destinies paint
Kindness that echoes, beyond time and space
In the quiet of night, they find solace and grace
they find solace and grace
(whispering vocals)
A hug exchanged, a bond forever embraced.
In the quiet of night, they find solace and grace
(Break)
(Fade out)
