All rights reserved. Lyrics: There is a wind of spite that chills There is a song-less sky of still If I were struggling for breath, who’d clasp me close? Who’d bear my breathing As I gasped in death? There is a dark that light can’t kill Within the blinding fear it fills If I were huddling for warmth, who’d clean my clothes? Who’d share their blankets? Or would I freeze alone? This is not difficult or radical This is fundamental. This is pivotal. This is the most important: Be kind, be gentle Be mild, be simple Be patient, be peaceful But above all else, be kind There is a thirst no substance can quench There is a hunger that will not be silent If you were famished, your children unfed Who’d sit you down to share their table? Who would share their bread? This is not difficult or radical This is fundamental. This is critical. This is the single most important: Be kind, be gentle Be mild, be simple Be patient, be peaceful But above all be kind Be humble Show mercy, show caring Don’t hate or hide, Don’t let fear divide Above all else... Above all else, be kind
