I'm lost for words Can't think what to say When events seem to take my breath away Seeing people whose hopes are in decay Get touched by the kindness of strangers
As new events Unfold day by day It's the innocent who usually have to pay Yet people whose hopes have gone astray Get touched by the kindness of strangers
I'm sitting at a distance Watching pictures on the telly Feeling sicked to the stomach By catastrophes amany Then oh so unexpectedly My legs can turn to jelly Touched by the kindness of strangers
I'm a pessimist Most of the day And my cynicism could take your breath away But I can't help seeing hope as children play Touched by the kindness of strangers
