Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There are six plates on the counter
I am counting them again
Someone brought a casserole dish
with a note I haven't read
[Verse 2]
My sister folds the napkins
Her hands are very still
I watch the steam rise from the pot
It moves but we do not
[Chorus]
We are setting the table
We are doing what we know
There is bread here
There is quiet
There is somewhere else to go
[Verse 3]
A neighbor asks if I need anything
I say we have enough
My brother pours the water out
His sleeve is rolled above his wrist
[Verse 4]
I notice how the light falls
across the wooden boards
We have gathered here before
but not like this
[Chorus]
We are setting the table
We are doing what we know
There is bread here
There is quiet
There is somewhere else to go
[Bridge]
I did not think I would be able
to sit in this particular chair
But here I am
and here you are
and someone says a simple grace
[Chorus]
We are setting the table
We are doing what we know
There is bread here
There is warmth here
There is somewhere else to go
[Outro]
The meal will not fix anything
but we are eating anyway
