Lyrics

BE KIND
(lyrics: Amy Abernathy)

A little girl sits in her fifth-grade class,
a boy teases her and says she's fat,
someone teases him because he loves the Lord,
a bully picks on a kid just because he's bored.
We don't have to be so darn mean,
we can be nice even if we don't agree.

CHORUS: Be kind to others and love your neighbor,
life's too short to be a hater,
try to feel how the others feel.
In a bind you may need them later,
at their door, when you're asking a favor,
you'll remember it: we only get what we give.

A man gets teased over his race,
a girl gets attacked because she's gay,
we need to be more careful with the words we use,
it's such a waste - all this abuse.
We don't have to be so darn mean,
we can be nice even if we don't agree.

CHORUS: Be kind to others and love your neighbor,
life's too precious to be a hater,
try to feel how the others feel.
In a bind you may need them later,
at their door, when you're asking a favor,
you'll remember it: you only get what you give.

Bridge: It doesn't matter if you're on the left or right,
you can show compassion, show some light.

CHORUS: Be kind to others and love your neighbor,
life's too short to be a hater,
try to feel how the others feel.
In a bind you may need them later,
at their door, when you're asking a favor,
you will see you only get what you give.

Be kind to others and love your neighbor,
it's such a waste to be a hater,
try to feel how the others feel.
In a bind you may need them later,
at their door, when you're asking a favor,
you'll remember it: we only get what we give.

Tag: We only get what we give - so, let's be kind. let's be kind,
we only get what we give - so, let's be kind, let's be kind
