Like a gentle wind can blow the clouds from the sky
Like a gentle touch can ease the pain of goodbye
Like a gentle smile embraces
Empty souls in lonely places

We should be more gentle with ourselves
Like the friend who gently builds us up when we're down
Like a gentle a kiss can turn a world all around
We've been hurt by others often

We've forgiven and forgotten
We should be as gentle with ourselves
Life can be hard
But we need not be
So hard on ourselves
If we will see

Like the shepherd leads His flock with gentle commands
With His gentle voice that only hearts understand
One thing we can know for certain
He has born the awful burdens

So we can be gentle with ourselves
One thing that I know for certain
He will bear my every burden
So I can be gentle with myself
