lyrics

Take The Time To Be Kind

If we all followed the Golden Rule
and everything was evenly weighed,
if we found out about someone in need
wouldn't we all step up to their aid.
In a perfect world we wouldn't hesitate
to give to another's peace of mind,
but things as they are, we think we’re on our own;
finding it hard - to take the time to be kind.
To be kind.

We all have so much to do
and we never give ourselves enough time
so we scramble off to every here and there
hopes of getting something in the line.
Our motivation if money or power
comes with a cost of leaving behind
charity, compassion, altruism;
qualities needed - to take the time to be kind.
To be kind.

Simple things like vanity and pride,
can desensitize us and leave us sort of blind;
making it hard to think beyond ourselves;
how could we even take the time to be kind?

They stop you exuding their need
and you think, “Tomorrow I’ll get to it somehow,”
but, is there ever a better place or time to give
than right here and now?
It’s not a perfect world so we stall
to give of ourselves and our time,
but things as they are, we’re all in this together
so move in a little closer - to take the time to be kind.
To be kind.
