Take the Time to Be Kind Lyrics

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

In 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

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

To be kind
