Courage to Be Kind

Lyrics

— Hi! — Good morning! — What has been the most important thing that has happened to you in your lifetime? — In my whole life?! — Uh-huh — I thing after being born... — It's a good start! — It's a good start... "You can be just for a while, or mercyful for a while. Persistently and be [?], or a kind, generous and [?], you can be..." Sweetheart, think how much better it would be If you through life could just preserve your beauty It really doesn't matter much to me (to me?) I don't know why you think it is your duty And don't you think that through some kindly thought You've got much better chance to change the world Those wrinkles on your facе, dear Those bags benеath your eyes Above the evil trace, dear Of temper, spite and lies Why can't you just be kind, dear Why can't you just be kind Why can't you just be kind, dear Why? Try! Consider, sweetheart, if you smiled always How much through weeks your face might be improving In place of which, in these unhappy days (You go to) You go to beauty shops for the removing Of imperfections, wrinkles Blemishes and ugly spots Why when you smile, we serve You look for these resorts? Those wrinkles on your face, dear Those bags beneath your eyes Above the evil trace, dear Of temper, spite and lies Why can't you just be kind, dear Why can't you just be kind Why can't you just be kind, dear Why?... Why can't you raise a grin, sweet And be a little beauty? Cause shining from within, sweet Has always been your duty! So, for our sake why can't you make An effort to be glad? Just see yourself the way I do Trust me you're not that bad! You are not that bad You are not that bad You are not that bad And I am not too bad "I suppose courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you cannot practise any of the virtues consistently. You can be kind for a while, you can be generous for a while, even loving for a while, but it is only with courage you can be persistently and insistently a kind and generous, and fair"
