[Verse 1]
I stir the pot with grandma’s spoon
The scent of sage, the hum of tune
Each spice a story, each dish a hug
Each pie a memory snug and snug
[Verse 2]
I chop, I mix, I bake, I fry
I wipe my brow and watch time fly
The oven glows, the laughter grows
The table fills with love that shows
[Chorus]
Stirring up love, spice and grace
We feed the soul, we fill the space
Stirring up love, old and new
Each bite a hug, each taste a truth
[SOLO]
[Verse 3]
I think of those who taught me well
Their apron strings, their kitchen spell
Though they’re not here to taste the stew
Their love is folded in it too
[Verse 4]
So take a bite and close your eyes
You’ll taste the tears, the laughs, the ties
This meal’s not just for hunger’s sake
It’s love we serve, it’s joy we make
[Chorus]
Stirring up love, spice and grace
We feed the soul, we fill the space
Stirring up love, old and new
Each bite a hug, each taste a truth
[Chorus Repeat]
Stirring up love, warm and proud
We cook with heart, we sing aloud
Stirring up love, bold and bright
We serve the past in every bite
[Bridge]
For every hand that taught me how
I stir with love, I serve them now
