The Magic of a Kind Word

When I think of all the sorrow

It is hard to take a breath

People fighting one another

And I feel there's nothing left

When I feel there's nothing left

Hey, cut me loose

Now I'm feeling fine

Yeah, I'm feeling fine

Shake worldly blues

Now I'm feeling fine

Yeah, I'm feeling fine

We're just like traffic in a big town

You better stop, you better slow down

And a man I know is sleeping (no, he's gone)

Until those northern spirits send

All the magic of a kind word (of afar)

You will always be a friend

We take comfort in them

Hey, cut me loose

Now I'm feeling fine

Yeah I'm feeling fine

Shake worldly blues

Now I'm feeling fine

Yeah, I'm feeling fine

And there's enough to share, to go 'round

You better stop, you better slow down

La la la la

La la la la

Woo

And you never see your brother (he'll cut work)

You'll make him smile so see him someday (walk and wait)

If we're happier tomorrow (hope we'll try)

We'll be living for today

We'll be living for today
