Gentle

Gentle
Music and Lyrics by Mike McLean

Like a gentle wind can blow the clouds from the sky,
Like a gentle touch can ease the pain of goodbye,
Like a gentle smile embraces empty souls in lonely places,
We can be more gentle with ourselves.

Like the friend who gently builds us up when we're down,
Like a gentle kiss can turn our world all around,
We've been hurt by others often,
We've forgiven and forgotten,
We can be more gentle with ourselves.

Life can be hard but we need not be
So hard on ourselves, If we will see

Like the Shepherd leads his flock with gentle commands.
With his gentle voice that only hearts understand.
One thing we can know for certain, He has borne the awful burden
So we can be gentle with ourselves.

One thing that I know for certain: He will bear my every burden, So I can be gentle with myself.
