Cleanse Song Lyrics
Bright Eyes
Everybodys empty, souless...
Take a look at yourself
And try to find some good inside
Sometimes we take things for granted
Lets sit back in our lives
How many times have we passed up an opportunity
To give someone a helping hand
And even though we've been selfish
Somehow the perfect stranger treats us like friends
Too many have turned the other cheek
Why can't you do the same
It doesn't hurt to try
This world looks so wonderful from afar
A place with so much beauty, yet its so ugly deep inside
Cleanse yourself with some kindness
Lend a stranger a helping hand
We can all come together
If the effort is shown first-hand
Instead of loosening the knot
You're tightening it some more
You're letting it tear apart
You're letting it all go
Too many have turned the other cheek
Why cant you do the same
It doesn't hurt to try
This world looks so wonderful from afar
A place with so much beauty
Yet its so ugly deep inside
Cleanse yourself with some kindness
Lend a stranger a helping hand
We can all come together
If the effort is shown first-hand
