Stay Gentle
by Brandi Carlile
Stay gentle, keep the eyes of a
child
Don't harden your heart or your
hands
Know to find joy in the darkness
is wise
Although they will think you
don't understand
Don't let the world make you
callous
Be ready to laugh
No one's forgotten about us
There is light on your path
Stay gentle, keep the eyes of a
child
And wear your heart on your
sleeve
Know to find joy in the darkness
is wise
Although they will think you are
naive
Don't let 'em lower your
shoulders
Love 'em more while they
try
Grow younger while you're
growin' older
Be amazed by the sky
Darling, stay wild if you can (If
you can)
The girl with the world in her
hands (In her hands)
The kingdom of Heaven belongs to
a boy
While his worry belongs to a
man
Stay gentle, stay gentle
The most powerful thing you can
do
Oh, gentle, unbreakable
you
