My soul was torn apart
Broken down and naked
Nothing that I tried would ever do
So I called a couple friends
But they can't seem to make it
No one that I need is coming through
And I feel it when you treat me like you do

So be kind as much as you can
And won't you try, try to understand
Cause you don't know what we've been through
You'd want some kindness if it happened to you
So be kind
So be kind
So be kind

Sometimes you gotta work
And there's no time for playing
Endless are the things you gotta do
You give until it hurts
And everybody's taking
Seems unfair, and that's because it's true
But still it makes it better when you do

So be kind as much as you can
And won't you try, try to understand
Cause you don't know what we've been through
You'd want some kindness if it happened to you
So be kind whoever you are
And I don't mind if you think you're a star
Just please don't go cause you never know
What you'll find
That in the end you need a friend
So please won't you be kind
So be kind

All the changes are changing my mind
All the anger I'm leaving behind
Then I find

So be kind as much as you can
And won't you try, try to understand
Cause you don't know what we've been through
You'd want some kindness if it happened to you
So be kind whoever you are
And I don't mind if you think you're a star
Just please don't go cause you never know
What you'll find
That in the end you need a friend
So please won't you be kind
So be kind
