I have traveled down the long and twisted roads

Through the darkened streets not many souls have known

I′ve seen beauty some may not understandI found glory in the ruin of the best-laid plans

There were times tomorrow felt so far away

It seemed as though the bitterness was here to stay

And though I've pushed down on my anger through my tears

I have always felt the love of God so near

I′ve been everything there is to be

So come on, baby, show some kindness to me

How the hand of fate drags us all behind

Like a river flowin' back and forth in time

To the place we call free will, but we were always meant to be

It was written like a song so long ago

It's a long and lonely river to the sea

So come on, baby, show some kindness to me

When all the wasted years have come and gone

And there′s just the empty sky to look upon

And all the dreams that pulled our hearts are memories

I will remember what it felt like to be free

′Cause I've been everything there is to be

Come on, baby, show some kindness to me

How the hand of fate drags us all behind

Like a river flowin′ back and forth in time

To the place we call free will, but we were always meant to be

It was written like a song so long ago

It's a long and lonely river to the sea

Come on, baby, show some kindness to me

I′ve been everything there is to be

So come on, baby, show some kindness to me

Come on, baby, show some kindness to me

Come on, baby, show some kindness to me

Come on
