Be More Kind

Be More Kind - Frank Turner

Written by：Frank Turner

History's been leaning on me lately

I can feel the future breathing down my neck

And all the things I thought were true

When I was young and you were too

Turned out to be broken

And I don't know what comes next

In a world that has decided

That it's going to lose its mind

Be more kind my friends try to be more kind

They've started raising walls around the world now

Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat

On the borders in our heads

Between things that can and can't be said

We've stopped talking to each other

And there's something wrong with that

So before you go out searching

Don't decide what you will find

Be more kind my friends try to be more kind

You should know you're not alone

And that trouble comes and trouble goes

How this ends no one knows

So hold on tight when the wind blows

The wind blew both of us to sand and sea

And where the dry land stands is hard to say

As the current drags us by the shore

We can no longer say for sure

Who's drowning or if they can be saved

But when you're out there floundering

Like a lighthouse I will shine

Be more kind my friends try to be more kind

Like a beacon reaching out

To you and yours from me and mine

Be more kind my friends try to be more kind

In a world that has decided

That it's going to lose its mind

Be more kind my friends try to be more kind
