My soul will always sing

If only I could temper my wild flame
Pour cold water
Play the game
Build a fortress high and strong

But walls can’t block a whispering breeze
It sneaks through cracks with quiet ease
And I wonder if I’ve been wrong

Brick by brick I’m stacking high
To keep the world from seeing why
I’ve got scars I don’t want to show
But kindness isn’t weakness
No

Brick by brick the hurt might fade
A castle in the mess I’ve made
But behind these walls I’ve come to know
Kindness isn’t weakness
No

Where people take my heart for gold
Then twist it till it’s bruised and cold
I’ve learned to smile through the sting

But kindness isn’t meant to break
It’s not a gift that others take
It’s the song my soul will always sing
