Indiscriminate Act of Kindness - Live

She came in from the cold wet
Dropped her luggage bags
Looked the concierge in the eye
Said, "I need a room for the night
But I don't got, no money
Would you take payment in kind?"

He said, "It's alright
I got a room here, you can share mine
Make the bed in the morning, that'll do fine
You can change in the bathroom
Hang your clothes on the line."

A tear came to her eye
She thought, how could he be so kind?
How could he be so kind?

She sat down on the bed with a needle
He said, "I'd hate to see you bleed out
Just fetch a warm towel and sit here 'til you're dry."
She started to cry
Saying, "Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?"

Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness

She was cold turkey
He was holding her hand
She said, "I was ruined by man
This was never in my plans
I dreamed of men who loved me
Together we'd see the world
Somehow I lost myself among the insults they hurled."

"I'm sure you're a wonderful woman
And someday, oh, there will surely be someone
So just relax now, it's important that you're calm."
She said, "How is it you can see past me as I am?"

Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness

See, when you took your chances
It was like you placed a bet
And sometimes this is the reward you can get
I was always taught, "If you see someone defiled
You should look them in the eyes and smile
And take their heart, but better still
Take them home, home, home."

She awoke early in the morning
Made the bed, gathered up her clothes to leave
Saw the concierge curled on the settee
Said, "What you did for me is hard for me to believe."

"I was just doing what was right
Nobody that knows love, could leave you out there on such a night
If ever you can help someone, bear that in mind

But consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness."
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness

Oh, what's wrong with kindness?
