Gentle

On my parent’s porch back home, looking out

Thinking ‘bout how it was 10 000 years ago

It all went up in smoke just like that

Every house, every car, everyone

Everything was gone

Did I lose all hope?

No, it didn’t even cross my mind

Am I being morbid, is my imagination haunted?

Everywhere I looked like a picture from a book

Everything abundant

The energy was stunning

Now I’m not try’na say that I like that better

Even though the sky was clearer

But in some twisted way I wish that we could go back

Make everyone jealous

Make ‘em wanna nourish what we got left of it

Can we be Gentle?

Can we be a bit more Gentle?

Can we please be Gentle, Gentle?

Can we be a bit more Gentle, Gentle?

Grew up thinking how much I

Can’t wait to see the coral reefs

And the Amazon, and the glaciers and a million more

But now that’s turning into a pipe dream

How can it be, it’s not that we can’t see

So why we doing nothing?

Have we lost all hope?

No, everybody has a heart

But I think we lack perspective

I know we all got good intentions

But we’re nearly out rope so baby let’s reign it in

She’s all we’ve ever known

Without her we’ll be gone

Now I’m not try’na say that I liked that better

Even though the sky was clearer

But in some twisted way I wish that we could go back

Make everyone jealous

Make ‘em wanna nourish what we got left of it

Can we be Gentle?

Can we be a bit more Gentle?

Can we please be Gentle, Gentle?

Can we be a bit more Gentle, Gentle?

Can we be Gentle?

Can we be a bit more Gentle?

Can we please be Gentle, Gentle?

Can we be a bit more Gentle, Gentle?

Gentle, Gentle

Gentle, Gentle
