There was a child who was born to be the one who comforts me

Who grew up strong and brave and holy, loves me rough and tenderly

Can it be understood the reasons why you belong to me?



I need the steady of you and I'd give you anything

That I could cut with sweet precision from beneath my tender skin

There is a way, there is a way that you can save me from this



Would you promise to be kind?

Promise to be kind



The wind is ever faithful and it carves a solemn sword

Right through the hearts of the ungrateful who are always wanting more

There is a way, there is a way that you can help me



With the ramparts built so high

All the soldiers stuck inside

But this will fall away with time

If you promise to be kind

Promise to be kind

Promise to be kind
