The Kindness of Strangers

I'm thankful for the kindness of strangers Kindness upon which I depend Nothing to gain, they do it the same A stranger you may one day call friend I'd never been so deep in danger I didn't know which way to go Then someone I knew not even from Adam Showed me a path that led straight home Warm like a soft fire Lifted my spirits higher I might bend, but I will not break In the kindness of strangers If you should find someone in trouble If you should hear somebody's plea Think of the times you've been shown a kindness And be the stranger someone needs Warm like a soft fire Lift up their spirits higher They might bend, but they will not break In the kindness of a stranger We all bend, but we will not break In the kindness of strangers
