the 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
