"Kindness" lyrics

I have traveled down the long and twisted roads
Through the darkened streets not many souls have known
I've seen beauty some may not understand
I found glory in the ruin of the best laid plans
There were times tomorrow felt so far away
It seemed as though the bitterness was here to stay
And though I've pushed down on my anger through my tears
I have always felt the love of God so near

I've been everything there is to be
So come on baby, show some kindness to me

How the hand of fate drags us all behind
Like a river flowing back and forth in time
To the place we call free will, but we were always meant to be
It was written like a song, so long ago
It's a long and lonely river to the sea
So come on baby, show some kindness to me

When all the wasted years have come and gone
And there's just the empty sky to look upon
And all the dreams that pulled our hearts are memories
I will remember what it felt like to be free

'Cause I've been everything there is to be
Come on baby, show some kindness to me

How the hand of fate drags us all behind
Like a river flowing back and forth in time
To the place we call free will, but we were always meant to be
It was written like a song so long ago
It's a long and lonely river to the sea
Come on baby, show some kindness to me
I've been everything there is to be
So come on baby, show some kindness to me
Come on baby, show some kindness to me
Come on baby, show some kindness to me
Come on
