lyrics

I sense you looking in here
Although I’ve not the eyes
To try to see your colour
Your cut of dress or size
I do not like religion
Nor attempts to have it show
Your favourite things envelope me
Some thoughts before I go

I’m at a disadvantage
Although it is my choice
You’ve glimpsed what makes my person
And heard my inner voice
Laid bare for your inspection
Myself I offer so
With a deep comprehension
Some thoughts before I go

I did this all in hoping
That you might leave behind
A couple of your daily cares
And eased your daily grind
If by chance you hear about
The one that makes us glow
I hope you tell a friend of yours
Some thoughts before I go

For simple things of gentleness
Can bridge so many miles
Are really all it takes
To reap rewards of smiles
For if a single tender thought
Should I chance to go
To smooth a furrow brow
Some thoughts before I go

If what I’ve shared by some chance
Ease a burdened mind
Or random acts of kindness
Soothe a worry left behind
Then my day is better for
The things that I have known
Kinder hearts are all around
Some thoughts before I go
