Be Kind, Not Just Nice - Rocksteady TNT

It's better to be kind
Than to just to be nice
One is sugar on top
The other is heart and spice
Nice is a bow
That's tied on top
Kind is the gift
That will never stop

Nice says, “Oh sure,
I don't mind at all”
When all the while
It just feels so small
Nice gives a handshake
Kind gives a hand
Nice sees the surface
Kind understands

Nice will smile while the truth
Goes unsaid
Kind will stick it's neck out
And speak up instead
Nice keeps it quiet
Stays out of the way
Kind dares to help out
On a cloudy day

Nice is a shadow
Kind shines the light
Nice keeps it simple
Kind makes it right
Nice is the cover
Kind is the page
Nice lasts a moment
Kind lasts an age

It's easy to smile
But harder to care
Nice stays at the doorway
Kind pulls up a chair
Nice says, “You're fine
Don't worry at all”
Kind says, “I'll catch you
If ever you fall”

So be kind, not just nice
Take my advice
A bit of courage makes life taste
Twice as bright
Nice is polite
But kindness is true
Kind changes the whole world
Starting with you
