📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Before the sun came up to eat
He tied the morning to his sleeve
Apron knot and oven prayer
Everybody fed, but he was never there

[Verse 2]
Mother's recipe under glass
Honey running through the past
He built a shop from borrowed sleep
Paid in hours he could not keep

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the phone became a window
And the window learned to sing
Three small sparks beside the mixer
Turned the labor back to spring

[Chorus]
Little voices in the flour
Light the room he almost lost
Every joke becomes a tower
Every name unpays the cost
Not the fame and not the numbers
Not the line outside the store
Little voices in the flour
Call him home once more

[Verse 3]
Now the bell keeps ringing louder
Now the trays keep moving fast
But he saves a chair for dinner
Lets the long shift be the past

[Bridge]
Let the screen be a window
Let the work learn a face
Let the sweetness have a table
Let the father have a place

[Final Chorus]
Little voices in the flour
Rising soft and ringing clear
What he made to hold the family
Finally brought him here
Little voices in the flour
No one has to disappear
