Courage To Be Kind

(albüm: HitchHiker - 2022)

There's a Synagogue in Texas
And that building sits right next to
Another place of prayer 'neath a crescent moon and star
Some coward burnt the whole place down
Don't you know that synagogue reached out
They said you're welcome here, come and worship as you are

It don't matter if there's five or six points on your star
It takes courage to be kind
To be brave enough to walk your love across a party line
This little light of yours and mine
Its time to let it shine
And find the the courage to be kind

Some guy walked into a Charleston church
Took out nine people without a word
He was taught to hate 'em for the color of their skin
Next morning I was watching TV
And to this day I still can't believe
The families forgave him for his sins

They said no matter what love must always win
It takes courage to be kind
To be brave enough to walk your love across a party line
This little light of yours and mine
Its time to let it shine
And find the the courage to be

Kinder than we've ever been
Let's find a way to love again
Kinder than we've ever been
Let's find a way to love again, love again, let's love again...

Your tie is red and my shirt is blue
You don't care for me, I don't care for you
But if we dig a little deeper we will find
We all want to feel safe, all wanna be loved
We've all got dreams were dreaming of
Were taught to fear what we don't know
Why can't we let it go...

Find the courage to be kind
I want to be brave enough to walk my love
Across these party lines
This little light of yours and mine
It's time to let it shine
Gonna find the courage to be kind

Gonna let it shine...
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine...

Gonna find the courage to be kind
