Paroles

[Verse 1 – Ensemble]
We gather close, we pass the plate
We share the stories, celebrate
From every hand, a gift is made
From every heart, a prayer is laid

[Verse 2 – Grandparents & Parents]
We light the candles, speak their names
We feel their love in quiet flames
Though chairs are empty, hearts are full
Their memory makes the table whole

[Chorus – Full Ensemble]
One table, one heart, we gather near
With joy and tears, with love sincere
One table, one heart, we rise and sing
For all we’ve lost, for all we bring

[Verse 3 – Children & Cook]
We laugh, we spill, we sneak a bite
We toast with cider, hold on tight
We’re stitched together, old and new
With every dish, our love comes through

[Verse 4 – Farmer & Stranger]
We plant the seeds, we break the bread
We welcome all, no soul unfed
We open doors, we make a place
For every voice, for every face

[Chorus – Full Ensemble]
One table, one heart, we gather near
With joy and tears, with love sincere
One table, one heart, we rise and sing
For all we’ve lost, for all we bring

[Chorus Repeat – With Choir]
One table, one heart, we hold the flame
We speak the truth, we say their name
One table, one heart, we stand as one
Grateful together, when day is done

[Bridge – Whispered Ensemble]
For those who came, for those who stay
For those we miss this holiday
We hold them close, we feel them here
In every laugh, in every tear

[Outro – Soft Fade]
One table… one heart… forever near.
