Leave It a Crack

[Verse 1]
A little fresh air
(Never hurt a thing)
A whisper from outside
(Make the spirit sing)

You don’t have to throw it open
(You don’t have to look back)
Just leave a little space
(Leave it a crack)

[Refrain]
Before you close it all the way
(Leave it a crack)
So the stray breeze may sway
(From the front to the back)

Before you shut the world outside
(Leave it a crack)
You never know what might arrive
(From the front to the back)

[Verse 2]
A drifting scent of flowers
(After a summer rain)
A distant sound of laughter
(Traveling down the lane)

A thought you hadn’t thought before
(A different kind of track)
Sometimes that’s all it takes
(Leave it a crack)

[Chorus]
Leave it a crack
(Just a little)
Leave it a crack
(Not too little)

Leave it a crack
(See what comes through)
Leave it a crack
(For something new)

[Verse 3]
Certainty’s a sturdy wall
(Brick by brick it’s stacked)
But curiosity begins
(When a window’s cracked)

The world is full of questions
(And answers we may lack)
You don’t need all the answers
(Leave it a crack)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Before you close it all the way
(Leave it a crack)
So the ever stray breeze may sway
(From the front to the back)

Before you settle everything
(Leave it a crack)
You might hear a different song
(From the front to the back)

[Final Chorus]
Leave it a crack
(Just enough)
Leave it a crack
(Not too much)

Leave it a crack
(And you may find)
Leave it a crack
(A broader mind)

[Outro]
A little fresh air
(A little light)

A little wonder
(A little sight)

Before you close it all the way
(Leave it a crack)

Leave it a crack…
(Leave it a crack…)
