Because of Who You Are
He said the wrong thing, she walked away You saw the moment hearts went gray But you held the door, you stayed behind You saw the hurt, but chose to be kind It’s not about what they deserve It’s about the love you’ve got to serve Kindness costs nothing, but it means everything Like a light in the dark, like a song we all can sing Do it not for praise, not for return But for the fire in you that longs to burn Do things for people, not for who they are But because of who you are She made mistakes, he lost his way But you remembered: we all break You didn’t judge, you didn’t preach You offered grace just out of reach It’s not about keeping score It’s about being more than what came before Kindness costs nothing, but it means everything Like a bridge over pain, like the hope that healing brings Do it not for praise, not for return But for the fire in you that longs to burn Do things for people, not for who they are But because of who you are You don’t need a reason You don’t need a sign Just a heart that remembers We all cross the line Kindness costs nothing, but it changes everything Like a whisper of peace in a world that stings Do it not for praise, not for return But for the fire in you that longs to burn Do things for people, not for who they are But because of who you are
