Repeat After Me

Repeat after me
Is good to be good
For one good turn deserve another 
As kindness is a healing 
To the wound unseen

So now repeat after me
Kindness is like a baton 
In a relay race
When you receive it you 
Pass it on 
Oh repeat after me 
Kindness is like a baton 
In a relay race 
When you receive it you 
Pass it on 

How can we make the world 
A better place if we are not 
Kind to each other 
How can we grow if we don't 
Care for each other 
How can life be when there is no 
Kindness 
For with just a share of kindness 
Heaven is likely on our feet 

So now repeat after me 
Kindness is like a baton 
In a relay race 
When you receive it you 
pass it on 
Oh repeat after me 
Kindness is like a baton 
In a relay race 
When you receive it you
Pass it on 

I wonder why people now 
So scared
So scared to show kindness
Guess that is the least at least 
All people can share among ourselves
For a little kindness 
Goes a long long way 

So now repeat after me 
Kindness is like a baton
On a relay race
When you receive it you
Pass it on 
Oh repeat after me 
Kindness is like a baton 
On a relay race 
When you receive it you 
Pass it on

Life is beautiful 
There are lots of joy to earn 
When kindness is shared 
Among our selves
 we all need care
Who is careless is lifeless
when kindness comes 
Your way then you could feel 
A joy of being with a heart healed 
In life is good to be good

So now repeat after me 
Kindness is like a baton 
In a relay race 
When you receive it you 
pass it on
Oh repeat after me 
Kindness is like a baton 
In a relay race 
When you receive it you
 pass It on 
I rest my case
