Be Kind, Kawan!

“Your words might be sharp--be careful who you throw them at. Some are barely hanging on at the edge.” --------- [Intro] Hey, remember, kawan! Kindness never goes out of style.. So please, be kind! [Verse 1] Some walk the world with silence in their stride Carrying battles buried deep inside You see a smile, neat and aligned But miss the cracks where the soul’s confined A single word can warm like firelight Or cut like glass in the dead of night Not all pain wears visible scars So measure your words like shooting stars Compassion doesn’t take a throne or crown But it lifts the lost when they’re breaking down Be the spark in someone’s dusk Not the shadow that turns their gold to dust [Chorus] Be kind! You don’t know the storm they hide The silent scream, the tears they’ve dried Be kind! Don't be the weight that breaks their spine When hope is hanging by a single line [Verse 2] You spill your rage without a second glance But what if the target never had a chance? What if their world is already on fire And your words became the funeral pyre? Kindness isn’t weakness, it’s brave, it’s bold To hold your fire, to break the mold If you can’t help, don’t add to the fall Sometimes silence is the kindest call [Chorus] Be kind! You don’t know the storm they hide The silent scream, the tears they’ve dried Be kind! Don’t be the weight that breaks their spine When hope is hanging by a single line [Bridge] You don’t see the demons they whisper to at night You don’t hear the prayers before they turn out the light Laughter’s not always born from bliss Sometimes, it’s the sound of pain in disguise [Final Chorus] Be kind! You don’t know the storm they hide The silent scream, the tears they’ve dried Be kind! Don’t be the weight that breaks their spine When hope is hanging by a single line [Outro] We’re all just souls searching for light Fighting battles by day Wrestling ghosts by night So if you can’t save the world At least don’t add to its wounds Kindness costs nothing But to someone It could mean everything [end]
