  • 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 Writer/s: Brandi Carlile, Phil Hanseroth, Tim Hanseroth
