[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
