"Gentle Man" lyrics

Confusion of the world is at an all-time high
No wonder that the heaviness weighs down your mind
Take your time you're only in the dawn of life
Grow into yourself and find your stride
Don't do it for your father or someone else's creed
Don't do it for your mother, don't do it for me

When bravado's at its crescendo
It's easy to get lost inside the echo
Desperado's just a song
You can turn it off and on
Build a better home on your father's land
All you need to do before you understand
Is be a gentle man

Don't blur the lines between yourself and your mistakes
Try not to feel so bad about the good old days
There's not some sacred promise you're gonna break
Don't you know you've always been allowed to change
You're strong without the armor you've been living in
Untangling the only story you've been fed

When bravado's at its crescendo
It's easy to get lost inside the echo
Desperado's just a song
You can turn it off and on
Build a better home on your father's land
All you need to do before you understand
Is be a gentle man
Is be a gentle man

You're afraid if you change they'll go away
Oh and if they do, you don't need them anyway

Be a gentleman...
