You've been walking, for oh so long,
Even the memory, of why you're, walking's long gone,
You feel you'll let go,
That you can't toe that line,
I'd like you to know that, we think,
You're doing just fine.
When you fear your light is dimming,
And every empty word feels strained,
You fear you've fallen, one too many times,
Please take my hand and try again.
A simple kindness will do,
It won't always see you through,
But you just might find a smile,
When you're giving out smiles.
Don't judge a heart cold or warm,
Because a heart changes form,
A simple kindness will do,
A simple kindness might do.
Time sits still,
The weeks drift by,
Forever changing,
Like the sky,
Showing contrast,
Your colour and tone,
Sometimes blue,
Set like stone,
Sometimes stormy,
And sometimes grey,
But in my heart,
You'll always stay.
So when a storm blows in,
And your fire goes out,
And you're only feeling pain,
Don't let it seem too complicated,
Take my hand and stand again.
A simple kindness will do,
It won't always see you through,
But you just might find a smile,
When you're giving out smiles,
Don't judge a heart cold or warm,
Because a heart changes form,
A simple kindness will do,
A simple kindness might do.
