Can't You Just Be Kind?

You make a little comment
To you it’s no big deal
But have you thought about how it makes other people feel?
You say it’s just a joke
Aren’t jokes s’posed to be funny?
All you do is make me feel real crummy
Look, we’re all guilty
Of passing remarks
Of putting our foot in our mouth
But can’t you just be kind?
Make someone’s day for a change
Can’t you just be kind?
I promise with practice it won’t feel so strange
It coulda been a good time
Breaking bread with you
But now you’ve pooped the party
You’ve deflated my balloon
I’m about as sensitive as you’re kind of a jerk
So let’s meet in the middle
Let’s make this work
Can’t you just be kind?
Make someone’s day for a change
Can’t you just be kind?
I promise with practice it won’t feel so strange
Can’t you just be kind?
Try a little positivity
Can’t you just be kind?
It reflects better on you and you’ll get thanks from me
What we see in each other
Are projections of ourselves
We’re all each other’s mirrors
So let’s be kind to ourselves
