Lyrics
Give a softer answer
Turn away from your anger
There is no getting even
And there is nothing at all to fear
Don't let your jealousy eat you inside
Throw away your poisoned pride
'Cuz it's up to you what you make of your life
You can build your empire
But it's nothing if you don't have kindness
You can have all you want
But it's still nothing if you don't have kindness
Still you settle your scores
You want more, and still more, but I tell you for sure
Show the love every moment you can
'Cuz kindness never killed anybody
Rise above, there's healing in your hands
And kindness never killed anybody
Show the love, show the love
Show the love every moment you can
'Cuz kindness never killed anybody
