We Can Be Kind

~David Friedman

 

So many things you can't control

So many hurts that happen everyday

So many heartaches that pierce the soul

So much pain that won't ever go away

 

How do we make it better?

How do we make it through?

What can we do when there's nothing we can do?

 

We can be kind

We can take care of each other

We can remember that deep down inside

We all need the same thing

And maybe we'll find

If we are there for each other

That together we'll weather whatever tomorrow may bring

 

Nobody really wants to fight

Nobody really wants to go to war

If everyone wants to make things right

Then what are we always fighting for?

 

Does nobody want to see it?

Does nobody understand?

The power to heal is right here in our hands.

 

We can be kind

We can take care of each other

We can remember that deep down inside

We all need the same thing

And maybe we'll find

If we are kind to each other

That together we'll weather whatever tomorrow may bring

 

And it's not enough to talk about it

Not enough to sing a song

We must walk the walk about it

You and I

Do or die

We've got to try to get along

 

We can be kind

We can take care of each other

We can remember that deep down inside

We all need the same thing

And maybe we'll find

If we are kind to each other

That together we'll weather whatever tomorrow may bring

 

And maybe we'll find

True peace of mind

If we always remember

We can be kind.
