Kindness

v1:
[verse 1]
Before you learn the gravity of kindness,
You must travel where sorrow lies,
See the body beneath the white poncho,
Feel the weight of all goodbyes.

[chorus]
Kindness whispers in the dark,
When sorrow grips your hand,
You wake to hear the echo,
That kindness understands.

[verse 2]
Before kindness fills the deepest part,
Sorrow lingers like a thread,
Tugging at the seams of your heart,
Till kindness lifts its head.

[chorus]
Kindness whispers in the dark,
When sorrow grips your hand,
You wake to hear the echo,
That kindness understands.

[bridge]
In every breath, in every step,
Kindness follows, never left.

[outro]
It’s kindness, only kindness,
That walks with you till the end.

V2:
[verse 1]
Before you know what kindness really is,
You must lose things, let them slip away,
Feel the future dissolve in a moment,
Like salt in a weakened broth, sway…

[chorus]
Kindness calls from the shadows,
Only when sorrow’s felt,
The landscape grows desolate,
Between regions, kindness dwells.

[verse 2]
What you held in your hand, counted and saved,
All this must go, to know the void,
Ride and ride, feeling endless roads,
Till kindness fills the empty space destroyed.

[chorus]
Kindness calls from the shadows,
Only when sorrow’s felt,
The landscape grows desolate,
Between regions, kindness dwells.

[bridge]
Feel the weight of silence, feel it bend,
In kindness, every journey finds its end.

[outro]
It is kindness, only kindness,
That goes with you like a friend.

V3:
[Verse 1]
Before you know what kindness is,
You must lose things, oh you see,
Feel the future dissolve away,
Like salt in a weakened sea.

[Chorus]
Kindness, oh sweet kindness,
Burns so deep inside,
You give me kindness, kindness
Through sorrow you can’t hide.

[Verse 2]
What you counted, what you held,
Gone like dust into the breeze.
You thought you’d ride forever,
But kindness stops your knees.

[Chorus]
Kindness, oh sweet kindness,
It’s a fire in the soul,
You give me kindness, kindness
Makes this broken heart whole.

[Bridge]
Before you feel it, it’s pain you’ll know,
The depth of sorrow makes it grow.
Kindness becomes the only thing,
That’s lifting you, like a feather’s wing.

[Verse 3]
Then kindness wraps its gentle hands,
Around your worn-out shoes,
Sends you out into the world,
Where only kindness blooms.

[Chorus]
Kindness, oh sweet kindness,
Burns so deep inside,
You give me kindness, kindness
A shadow by your side.
