''Write me, send me, don't forget to call
Whisper softly you'll be there if I fall
Turn off the news, shut off the world, home is where you are safe
Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate
Hold me gently, take me in your arms
Whisper softly, "They'll never do you harm"
Turn off the news, shut off the world, home is where you are safe
Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate
Lying here alone at night firing rockets from my bed
No one else can see them 'cause they're only in my head
Sam Cooke's singin' my favorite song, "Try a Little Tenderness"
That sweet melody drifting by as I convalesce
Is that your hand clutchin' mine?
I just want your hand clutchin' mine
Oh, hold me gently, always let me know
Whisper softly you'll never let me go
Turn off the news, shut off the world, before it's all too late
Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate
Love is stronger than hate
Love is stronger than hate''
