Where's there's kindness, there's goodness
And where there's goodness, there is magic
But kindness is too much a hassle for the frail hearts of today
So goodness doesn't shine on through, like the sunshine on a summer's day
So magic is forever lost in these ancient tales
Because we're all children that have wondered off their trails

But oh so seldomly there's a stranger in your path
That will calm your soul's wrath
It won't be easy
You won't be kind
But I hope the stranger soothes your mind
It won't be easy
But it might be a delight
To have someone to warm you at night

And then you'll see, oh child of mine
Your walls, that were meant to confine
Are all, but divine
So be good
Be kind
Let the stranger in
And the magic you will find.
