Gentle Kind

                                  I look around me and what do I see?

Sadness surrounds me, alone as can be

With too much time and too much distance



These chains that bind me, they won't set me free

I look behind me and coming for me, yeah

My best friend, she's my resistance



So if you find yourself alone and so unkind

And if you've asked yourself, over and over

And even if your heartbeats hurt like goodbyes

Try, try, try, open your mind

Spend some time with the gentle kind



I was torn between the darkness and the light

Lost to all belief that it could turn out right

But my quiet friend turned me 'round

Made me see again



She took my hand, said nothing much

No lesson learned, just a gentle touch

And I was coming 'round

I am, I am coming 'round again



So if you find yourself alone and so unkind

And if you've asked yourself, over and over

And even if your heartbeats hurt like goodbyes

Try, try, try, open your mind

Spend some time with the gentle kind



'cause in a hard world, with fastness and an eye on the money

I heard a soft voice, saying "Never worry, hold on honey"

When my world was gone, a whisper kind of eased my mind

And I am holdin' on to the gentle kind



She took my hand, said nothing much

No lesson learned, just a soft touch



So if you find yourself alone and so unkind

And if you've asked yourself, over and over

And even if your heartbeats hurt like goodbyes

Try, try, try, open your mind

Spend some time with the gentle kind



Open your mind

Spend some time with the gentle kind

Open your mind

Spend some time with the gentle kind
