Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wish people would be kind I wish the weight of our words Would weigh more heavily on our ways But 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I wish people would be kind I wish the weight of the world Would weigh more heavily on our ways Since it's okay 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] And time can stand still While time still is being wasted Remember where we started Like empires that have fallen before [Chorus] 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
