A word's just a word
'Til you mean what you say
And love isn't love
'Til you give it away
We've all got a gift
Yeah, something to give
To make a change

Send it on (send it on)
On and on (on and on)
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part (be a part)
Reach your heart (reach your heart)
Just one spark starts the fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us strong
Shine a light, and send it on

Just smile (just smile)
And the world (and the world)
Will smile along with you
That small act of love
That's meant for one will become two
If we take the chances (change circumstances)
Imagine all we can do, if we

Send it on (send it on)
On and on (on and on)
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part (be a part)
Reach your heart (reach your heart)
Just one spark starts the fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us strong
Shine a light, and send it on
Send it on (oh, send it on)

There's power in all of the choices we make
So I'm starting now, there's not a moment to waste

A word's just a word
'Til you mean what you say
And love isn't love
'Til you give it away

Send it on (send it on)
On and on (on and on)
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part (be a part)
Reach your heart (reach your heart)
Just one spark starts the fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us strong (shine a light)
Shine a light and send it on

Send it on (send it on)
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part (be a part)
Reach your heart (reach your heart)
Just one spark starts the fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will help things start
Make us strong
Shine a light and send it on
Shine a light and send it on
Shine a light and send it on

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
