If sweetness had a sound It would sound like my hometown The summer sprinklers turning on The endless ice cream song Cold river rushing by The ducks and geese in flight The silence in between All the sights unseen It would sound like my hometown If sweetness had a sound If kindness could be held It would feel like where I'm from The soft greeting of a neighbor The warm hand of a stranger Patience each with the other Embracing a sister or brother If I could hold it in my palm To the world I'd pass it on Or to any who might not have found The kindness of my hometown If sweetness had a sound It would sound like my hometown The summer sprinklers turning on The endless ice cream song Cold river rushing by The ducks and the geese in flight The silence in between All the sights unseen It would sound like my hometown If sweetness had a sound
