The Gentle Kind

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Verse 2]
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 around
Made me see again
She took my hands, said nothin' much
No lesson learned, just a gentle touch
And I was coming around
I am, I am coming round again

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
'Cause in a hard world
With fastness and an eye on the money
I heard a soft voice sayin'
"Never worry, hold on honey"
When my world was gone
A whisper kind of eased my mind
I am holdin' on
To the gentle kind

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Took my hand, said nothin' much
No lesson, just a soft touch

[Chorus]
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
