Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Don't let the world make you callous
Be ready to laugh
No one's forgotten about us
There is light on your path
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Stay gentle, stay gentle
The most powerful thing you can do
Oh, gentle, unbreakable you
Written by: Brandi Carlile, Phil Hanseroth, Tim Hanseroth
