Kind It Takes

The person cried out for more With an expression of lonely No longer belonging to the fan club of hurt in their eyes I saw every single moment leading up to the birth of the mind And it takes a lot of focus just to unwind The person cried out for less There was a tear in the fabric of time Asking how more can you need to survive I saw people doing things that I would never see a person do again And it takes a lot of patience to be a friend The person cried out again With their most vocal extension They didn't know it but the sound that escaped from their mouth Was the single most important thing of beauty that the world had ever heard The person went through the door It was the end of an evening in sight The sun was bowing to the stars up above that came out And I was looking for the answer to the question that had taken all my doubts That it takes a lot of kindness to be alive It takes a lot of kindness to be alive It takes a lot of kindness to be alive A lot of kindness to be alive
