Memory

Well oh remember that day, average and gray, you came to me and then

I heard a kindness like a memory I once felt on a passing wind

Oh but the kindness I've known

From street and stone they still resound your presence and animation

No not negation or affirmation, but positivity and creation

Oh but the kindness I've known

Not destruction but creation in the waning hearts you mended

But the spark of connection that fills the soul when simply you're befriended

Oh but the kindness I've known

As well I knew in such freedom grew also isolation

Of the pain of knowing so very few who'ld not desire your captivation

Oh but the kindness I've known

Your love and true and pure desire tireless, endless and sad

I wonder now would I be the same if I'd left what if I had

Oh but the kindness I've known

To discover to the world what I know of you and not unattainable song

That would glorify your attributes like we've done all along

There's a lot more to you than song

and pedistals they cannot describe the torment you've been through

And banishment cannot consumate the frustration and monotony we knew

And song will never ever portray the wonder that you've known

But lyric sticks here like a timeline and it's a mark to show we've gone

Oh but the kindness I've known

So I'll represent this kindness since all else is extoled and present how it does thrive

Like the care and nourishment long forgot in infancy that kept us alive

Lethal environment does not always justify reactionary violent behavior

For striking down malevolence takes it's place and our timeline read the same here

Oh but the kindness I've known

Oh this kindness is what the great search is for not wisdom or divining

Our subconsionce recognizes it's safe guard form birth

To keep our self absorbed frustrated minds from grinding

Oh but the kindness I've known
