[Куплет 1] I’m a long way from the harbor where i learned the names of tides, With a notebook on my knee and a ticket folded wide. At the station, people hurry, every face a different map, A violin case, a lunch pail, a child asleep in someone’s lap. [Алдынғы қайырма] Then a porter shares a joke with a woman in a blue suit, And a boy gives up his place so an old man can get through. For a second, all our separate roads are standing side by side— Under one bright afternoon, beneath the same open sky. [Қайырма] For a moment, we belong here, Every stranger, passing through. Different miles beneath our feet, Same warm sun on me and you. And i write it down before the train rolls on: How a little kindness travels far. For a moment, we belong here, Wherever we are. [Куплет 2] A baker from the valley trades directions with a nurse, A sailor calls his sister, laughing softly through the words. Two men argue over baseball, then they grin and shake hands, While a girl in green is sketching all the departures on her plans. [Алдынғы қайырма] I’ve been counting distant borders, measuring the miles i roam, But a shared look and a helping hand can make a station home. So i leave a line for everyone who crossed my path today— Not their names, just how the sunlight found us all the same. [Қайырма] For a moment, we belong here, Every stranger, passing through. Different miles beneath our feet, Same warm sun on me and you. And i write it down before the train rolls on: How a little kindness travels far. For a moment, we belong here, Wherever we are. [Көпір] When the whistle gathers up the afternoon, And the platform starts to thin, I’ll carry all these small connections Like a compass tucked within. There’s a thousand ways to get somewhere; There’s one way to begin— Look up, and let another traveler in. [Final chorus] For a moment, we belong here, Every stranger, passing through. Different miles beneath our feet, Same warm sun on me and you. And i write it down before the train rolls on: How a little kindness travels far. For a moment, we belong here, Wherever we are. [Аутро] Wherever we are, Under one bright afternoon.
