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 a song.

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 the 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.
