Frank Turner - Be More Kind lyrics

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, 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 It seems like everybody’s raising walls now Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat On the borders in our heads between things that can and can’t be said We stopped talking to each other and there’s something wrong with that So before you go out searching, don’t decide what you’ll find Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind You should know you’re not alone 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 lands 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, for 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
