Could Be Kind

Could be kind to you
Could be kind to me

There was a man, a heart so cold
His frowns could freeze the sun
He never smiled or had kind words for anyone
Then one day he heard a child singing to herself
I’d swear I heard him say as his heart began to melt

Could be kind to you
Could be kind to me

What would you think of a tall tale?
A story to unfold
Where candle sticks and pirate ships
Were not the legend told
Where promises to children’s hearts
Forever come unbound
A question that he asks himself
When he is not around

Could be kind to you
Could be kind to me

So if I see you all alone and you’re looking sad
I’ll tell a story you should know
Of treasures you once had
Of spirits wakened long grown cold
Inside a tired shell
A song returned, a gift reborn
A heart begins to melt

Could be kind to you
Could be kind to me
