Take The Time To Be Kind (R-E)
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
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
