There's a comfort in the way you speak In these times where just hate reigns the world In these days where only hardness counts And there is no one you can trust
There's a wisdom in your laughter There's a love song in your tears There is power in your hands That fills my veins up when we love
REFRAIN:
Come gently, come gently Come gently, come nearer Come gently, come gently Come gently, come near to me
I believe in your religion In your thoughts and in your mind I believe in you as a mother And I believe in your child
I believe in you when you are wrong 'cause I know that you mean it right I believe that you can change the world With your hundred pounds of weight
REFRAIN:
Come gently, come gently Come gently, come nearer Come gently, come gently Come gently, come near to me
There's a wisdom in your laughter There's a love song in your tears You've got heaven in your eyes And the sunshine is on your face
