Be gentle, be gentle, 
And all the world is yours 
A river flowing home to sea 
You shall be. 
Be strong and know your heart 
Protect the small, the weak, 
And love like morning rain shall fall 
On a song. 
There is no peace 
In an angry heart 
The wise know the truth 
There is no power stronger 
Than gentleness of heart. 
Beneath, the waters and the rock will turn the sand 
It took a wounded man to show the world 
That if we want to live 
We must forgive 
Oh, Lord the night is long, 
The dawn cannot be far 
When gentle winds of peace 
Fill every heart. 
A river flowing home to sea, 
I shall be.
