I feel a certain tenderness
For every fool and every clown
Whose pure intentions set him free
Who won't give up or be held down

I feel a certain tenderness
For him who dares to speak his mind

I feel a certain tenderness
For those entangled in their dreams
And when confronted with the truth
They laugh it off, or so it seems

I feel a certain tenderness
For every woman, every man
Who in complete defenselessness
Will give their love to whom they can

I feel a certain tenderness
For every woman, every man
Who in complete defenselessness
Will give their love because they can
