Be Kind Already
Jason Oliver and Jane Velez Mitchell
Gm
What will tear down your wall of resistance?
Dm
Certainly not, all my insistence
Cm
That she can feel.
Gm
Her pain is real.
Gm
When will I see a burst of compassion
Dm
That equals your love of music and fashion?
Cm
What will it take
Gm
For you to break?
CHORUS
A#
Be KIND, already
F
Let go of your pride, already
Gm
Listen to their cries, already
D#
And open your heart!
A#
Enough, already
Fmaj
I’m losing my mind, already
Gm
Protesting’s a grind, already
D#
I know that you’re smart!
Gm
You see yourself as a beacon of virtue
Dm
But what if some stranger decided to hurt you
Cm
Like you hurt him
Gm
Would it be a sin
Gm
What will it take to crush your denial?
Dm
When will you see he’s just a child?
Cm
It’s not his fate
Gm
To fill your plate
CHORUS
Gm. Dm. Cm
Be kind, be kind, be kind, be kind!
Gm
JUST BE KIND!
Gm
You think I’m just out to make trouble
Dm
As you fight like hell to stay in your bubble.
Cm
But, you will see
Gm
That history’s on my side
CHORUS
Gm. Dm.
Be kind, be kind, be kind
Cm. Gm.
Just be kind, just be kind
What will tear down your wall of resistance?
Certainly not, all my insistence
That she can feel. Her pain is real.
When will I see a burst of compassion
That equals your love of music and fashion?
What will it take for you to break?
CHORUS
Be kind already
Let go of your pride, already
Listen to their cries, already
And open your heart!
Enough, already
I’m losing my mind, already
Protesting’s a grind, already
I know that you’re smart!
You see yourself as a beacon of virtue
But what if some stranger decided to hurt you
Like you hurt him- would it be a sin
What will it take to crush your denial?
When will you see he’s just a child?
It’s not his fate to fill your plate
CHORUS
Be kind, be kind, be kind, be kind! Just be kind
You think I’m just out to make trouble
As you fight like hell to stay in your bubble.
But, you will see that history’s on my side
CHORUS
Be kind, be kind, be kind, be kind! Just be kind
Just be kind, just be kind
