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

about

ABOUT
I’m continually struck by how dependent we are on one another. Whether we’re friends, family or even enemies. And it’s not just the grand gestures, either. It’s the small ones. A nod or smile at the right time can be enough to get a stranger through the day.

LYRICS
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

about

Aaron Espe Nashville, Tennessee

I'm probably what Bob Ross would sound like if he'd been a singer-songwriter. Calming, positive music with a hint of sadness.
