[female vocals] BE
KIND
TO
A
CHILD
INTRO
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Be
gentle
with
a
child.
The
little
eyes
are
watching,
The
little
heart
remembers.
What
you
do
today
May
live
with
them
forever.
VERSE 1
Everybody
deserves
kindness,
But
children
need
it
more,
Their
hearts
are
soft
and
tender,
Their
minds
are
still
exploring.
A
smile
can
stay
forever,
A
kind
word
can
give
them
hope,
A
hand
that
lifts
them
when
they
fall
Can
change
the
way
they
grow.
CHORUS
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Don't
say, "
He's
only
a
child,
He
doesn't
understand."
The
tender
mind
remembers,
The
little
heart
won't
forget.
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Be
kind
to
a
child.
VERSE 2
If
you
are
cruel
to
a
child,
Don't
think
it
disappears.
The
years
may
take
him
far
away,
But
memories
remain.
The
words
you
said,
the
things
you
did,
The
pain
you
caused
that
day,
May
become
a
silent
story
He
carries
on
his
way.
CHORUS
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Don't
say, "
He's
only
a
child,
He
doesn't
understand."
The
tender
mind
remembers,
The
little
heart
won't
forget.
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Be
kind
to
a
child.
VERSE 3
Some
children
suffer
silently
At
the
hands
of
grown-up
men,
Some
are
hurt
by
those
they
trusted,
And
never
speak
of
it.
But
growing
older
doesn't
mean
The
memory
disappears.
The
child
who
suffered
yesterday
Still
lives
within
the
years.
BRIDGE
One
day
that
child
will
grow,
One
day
he
will
stand
tall.
And
those
who
never
showed
him
love
May
wonder
why
he
walks
away.
They
may
ask, "
Why
doesn't
he
care?
Why
doesn't
he
remember
me?"
But
the
answer
lies
within
the
heart
Of
the
child
they
used
to
see.
VERSE 4
Don't
mistake
a
child's
silence
For
a
heart
that
cannot
feel.
Don't
mistake
their
innocence
For
ignorance
of
what
is
real.
A
child
may
not
have
words
To
explain
what
you
have
done,
But
the
heart
records
the
memory
Long
after
childhood's
gone.
FINAL
CHORUS
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Be
kind
to
a
child,
For
every
little
heart
Deserves
a
place
to
smile.
The
kindness
that
you
give
today
May
light
their
whole
life's
way.
Be
kind
to
a
child,
Be
kind
to
a
child.
OUTRO
Years
may
pass,
Faces
may
change,
But
memories
remain.
The
child
remembers
kindness,
The
child
remembers
pain.
So
before
you
speak,
Before
you
act,
Remember
what
you
leave
behind.
Be
kind
to
a
child.
Be
kind
to
a
child.
Because
the
child
will
remember.
