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.
