Nancy LaMott - We Must Be Kind

So many things
I can't control
So many hurts
That happen everyday
So many heartaches
That pierce the soul
So much pain
That won't ever go away

How do we
Make it better?
How do we
Make it through?
What can we do
When there's
Nothing we can do?

We can be kind
We can take care
Of each other
We can remember
That deep down inside
We all need
The same things

And maybe we'll find
If we are there
For each other
That together
We'll weather
Whatever tomorrow
May bring

Nobody really
Wants to fight
Nobody really wants
To go to war
If everyone wants
To make things right
What are we always
Fighting for?

Does nobody
Want to see it?
Does nobody understand?
The power to heal
Is right here in our hand

We can be kind
We can take care
Of each other
We can remember
That deep down inside
We all need
The same things

And maybe we'll find
If we are there
For each other
That together
We'll weather
Whatever tomorrow
May bring

And it's not enough
To talk about it
Not enough
To sing a song
We must walk
The walk about it
You and I
Do or die
We've got to try
To get along

We can be kind
We can take care
Of each other
We can remember
That deep down inside
We all need
The same things

And maybe we'll find
If we are there
For each other
That together
We'll weather
Whatever tomorrow
May bring

And maybe we'll find
True peace of mind
If we always remember
We can be kind
