The Hand That Rests On My Shoulder Songtext
von To Be Gentle

Cowardice in the wake of a lie that I solemnly knew
Complacent in fear
Brought to the brink of my shortcomings
Scrape away this violence
Indifferent to the suffering
I will not ignore something larger than me
Break down these old walls, rebuild and start again
Relinquish this pain, adopt a newfound growth
This can never fade until the last cage empties There′s a hand resting on my shoulder
And it wants me to be gentle and sensitive
Empathy to serve a purpose
Protect them the voiceless ones
Love them as I'd love another
I see a hope in empathy
This starts with compassion, compassion and you
Give up yourself and see them as they do
