Go Gentle
Navigating Life's Dance: Wisdom in Robbie Williams' 'Go Gentle'
Lyrics
You're gonna meet some strangers.
You will encounter unfamiliar people.
Welcome to the zoo.
Welcome to a chaotic and unpredictable environment.
Bitter disappointments.
You will face bitter letdowns.
Except for one or two.
Despite disappointments, there will be a few positive experiences.
Some of them are angry.
Some individuals will be irate.
Some of them are mean.
Some will be unkind.
Most of them are twisted.
Most will have distorted perspectives.
Few of them are clean.
Only a minority will be morally upright.
Now when you go dancing with young men down at the disco.
When you socialize at the disco with younger men,
Just keep it simple.
Keep your interactions straightforward.
You don't have to kiss though.
No need to engage in intimate activities.
Don't waste time whit the idiots
Avoid wasting time on foolish individuals.
Think that they're heroes.
Those who think highly of themselves may disappoint you.
They will betray you.
They may betray you.
Stick with us weirdos.
Stick with those considered eccentric or unconventional.
For all your days and nights
Throughout your life,
I'm gonna be there,
I will be there,
I'm gonna be there, yes I will.
I will support you.
Go gentle through your life.
Navigate life with grace.
If you want me I'll be there.
If you need me,
When you need me I'll be there for you.
I will be there for you.
Don't try to make them love you.
Don't seek approval from everyone.
Don't answer every call.
Avoid responding to every call or demand.
Baby be a giant.
Be a person of great stature.
Let the world be small.
Let the world seem insignificant in comparison.
Some of them are deadly.
Some people can be harmful.
Some don't let it show.
Some hide their true nature.
If they try and hurt you.
If someone attempts to harm you,
Just let your daddy know.
Inform me, your father.
Now when you go
When you give your heart,
Giving your heart make sure they deserve it.
Ensure it is deserved.
If they haven't earned it.
If not earned,
Keep searching, it's worth it.
Keep searching; it's worthwhile.
For all your days and nights (days and night)
Throughout your days and nights,
I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I will be there,
I'm gonna be there, yes I will.
I will stand by you.
Go gentle through your life (through your life)
Navigate life with gentleness.
If you want me I'll be there (If you want me I'll be there)
If you desire my presence,
When you need me I'll be there for you.
I will be there for you.
Go gentle to the light (to the light)
Approach the light with care.
I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I will be there,
I'm gonna be there, yes I will.
I will stand by you.
If all your days are nights (days are nights)
If your days feel like nights,
When you want me I'll be there (If you want me I'll be there)
When you seek me,
Say my name and I'll be there for you
Call my name, and I will be there for you.
