Be Gentle

Be gentle, be gentle
And all the world is yours
A river flowing home to sea
You shall be

Be strong and know your heart
Protect the small, the weak
And love like morning rain shall fall
On us all

There is no peace
In an angry heart
The wise know the truth
There is no power stronger
Than gentleness of heart

Beneath the waters
And the rock will turn to sand
It took a wounded man
To show the world
That if we want to live
We must forgive

Oh, Lord, the night is long
The dawn cannot be far
When gentle winds of peace
Fill every heart

A river flowing home to sea
I shall be...
