Screens are glowing in empty rooms,
voices quiet, days pass soon.
So many names we almost know,
faces we scroll but never hold.
We talk fast, we think ahead,
wait our turn instead of hearing what they said.
Everyone wants to be seen,
but we forget what that can mean.
Maybe it’s simpler than we think,
closer than the edge we’re standing on.
Look me in the eye, say my name,
listen like you’ve got time to stay.
Ask me who I am, not what I do,
that’s how I start to trust in you.
Give a smile, let it be true,
make me feel like I matter too.
That’s how you win friends,
that’s how you win friends.
Kind words cost us almost nothing,
still we save them like they’re rare.
We forget how far it goes
just to show somebody that we care.
Remember what I told you once,
bring it back when I least expect.
Every heart wants one thing most,
to feel seen, to feel respected.
It’s not louder, it’s not more,
it’s being present at the door.
Look me in the eye, say my name,
listen like you’ve got time to stay.
Ask me who I am, not what I do,
that’s how I start to trust in you.
Give a smile, let it be true,
make me feel like I matter too.
That’s how you win friends,
that’s how you win friends.
Everyone’s carrying something inside,
hopes and fears they don’t show outside.
If you make a little room for me,
I might do the same, eventually.
Look me in the eye, say my name,
let me know I’m not just passing by.
Hear my words, remember my face,
kindness always finds its way.
Give your time, that’s the proof,
make me feel important too.
That’s how you win friends,
that’s how you win friends.
It starts small, but it lasts,
how you see me when we pass.
