I have my moments, yes I do
And I have my dramas just like you
When the weight of the world comes crashing through
And I'm needing somebody to lean on
I look in the mirror and I see
A bundle of nerves where I used to be
I remember the words you said to me
The words that you said to me
Be kind to yourself, be kind to you
That's what you're here on earth to do
If you just let your love shine through
Then life may be kind to you
It's easier said than done, I know
I'm the first to admit I take it slow
I just have a hard time letting go
Letting go of the critic inside me
Sometimes I prefer to stand and fight
Then you remind me "Take it light
Would you rather be happy or be right?
Would you rather be happy or right?"
Be kind to yourself, be kind to you
That's what you're here on earth to do
If you just let your love shine through
Then life may be kind to you
How can you hope to be helping someone
If your own life is twisted and twirled
You've got to pull out your broom and clean your own room
Before you can clean up the world
If I were a master, old and wise
And people would ask me for advice
I'd just tell 'em all to memorize
The words that you said to me
Be kind to yourself, be kind to you
That's what you're here on earth to do
If you just let your love shine through
Then life may be kind to you
Then life may be kind to you
