Turn Around

 

See the water softly run
And overcome the stone
Breaking every border down
With softness alone

How do words of kindness
Change an armoured heart? 
Appealing to the very child needing
Kindness from the start

Turn around
Stop holding on
We’re better than we used to be

How does all your history
Play out to empty hands? 
Stories worn like braille
Push through until you understand

Turn around
Stop holding on
We’re better than we used to be

Let the darkness bring to light
The things that need to change
The moon’s cross and the sun’s flight
Must move to rearrange
