I wish people would be kind
I wish the weight of our words
Would weigh more heavily on our ways
Cause people take and people say
Human discourse has been unsafe
I wish people would be kind
But talk is cheap and flesh is cheap
And anger is becoming
Currency these days
Hands have been dealt
Where cards have spilt
Like empires that have fallen before
And when the earth is flooded
We must not turn away
More than a kind remembrance
We have to leave a flame
Leave a flame
I wish people would be kind
I wish the weight of the world
Would weigh more heavily on our ways
Since its ok that people take
They should first give more of what they've made
I wish people would be kind
Since talk is cheap when people speak
They should first place much more worth
With empathy than words
Hands have been dealt
Where cards have spilt
Like empires that have fallen before
And when the earth is flooded
We must not turn away
More than a kind remembrance
We have to leave a flame
Leave a Flame
And time can stand still
While time still is being wasted
Remember where we started
Cause where cards have spilt
Like empires that have fallen before
And when the earth is flooded
We must not turn away
More than a kind remembrance
We have to leave a flame
I wish the weight of our words
Would weigh more heavily on our ways
Cause people take and people say
Human discourse has been unsafe
I wish people would be kind
But talk is cheap and flesh is cheap
And anger is becoming
Currency these days
Hands have been dealt
Where cards have spilt
Like empires that have fallen before
And when the earth is flooded
We must not turn away
More than a kind remembrance
We have to leave a flame
Leave a flame
I wish people would be kind
I wish the weight of the world
Would weigh more heavily on our ways
Since its ok that people take
They should first give more of what they've made
I wish people would be kind
Since talk is cheap when people speak
They should first place much more worth
With empathy than words
Hands have been dealt
Where cards have spilt
Like empires that have fallen before
And when the earth is flooded
We must not turn away

We have to leave a flame
Leave a Flame
And time can stand still
