Be More Kind Songtext
von 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
