Winter winds blew down the street,
Long lines formed for something to eat
He watched them shiver in the snow
Thought, “There must be a better way to go.”
Tried the sun, tried the smoke
Every path, every hope
But nothing stayed, nothing held
Till love in the kitchen sparked something else
A bowl of hope, warm and bright
From a spark in the coldest night
In oil it danced, in dreams it stayed
A simple gift the whole world made
From heart to hand, from home to flame
The world would never be the same
Night by night, he tried again
Pots and pans, ideas ran thin
But in her hands, he found the clue
A frying sound, a thought so new
From failure's fire, brilliance rose
In humble form, the comfort shows
One bite can carry years and names
And warm a soul through snow and rain
A bowl of hope, warm and bright
From a spark in the coldest night
In oil it danced, in dreams it stayed
A simple gift the whole world made
From heart to hand, from home to flame
The world would never be the same
Not just food, but love and care
From one man’s dream to everywhere
In every slurp, a quiet cheer
Of one who saw, and brought us near
A bowl of hope, warm and true
Made for me and made for you
From empty streets to crowded days
It found its way in countless ways
From heart to hand, from home to flame
The world would never be the same
