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
