Let Babylon Burn — A Gentle Soul

You never had much in your pocket, but you always had the time
Never made me feel a burden for saying what was on my mind
You didn’t have to fix it.
You didn’t turn away
You had enough to carry, but you listened anyway
A gentle soul, you always had the time
Even with your own hard days, you made room for mine
A gentle soul, I wish this world had known
How much the one who listens needs kindness of his own
I think you saw what others missed
