Courage to Be Kind

There's a Synagogue in Texas And that building sits right next to Another place of prayer 'neath a crescent moon and star Some coward burnt the whole place down Don't you know that synagogue reached out They said you're welcome here, come and worship as you are It don't matter if there's five or six points on your star It takes courage to be kind To be brave enough to walk your love across a party line This little light of yours and mine It's time to let it shine And find the the courage to be kind Some guy walked into a Charleston church Took out nine people without a word He was taught to hate 'em for the color of their skin Next morning I was watching TV And to this day I still can't believe The families forgave him for his sin They said no matter what love must always win It takes courage to be kind To be brave enough to walk your love across a party line This little light of yours and mine It's time to let it shine And find the the courage to be Kinder than we've ever been Let's find a way to love again Your tie is red and my shirt is blue You don't care for me I don't care for you But if we dig a little deeper we will find We all want to be safe All wanna be loved We've all got dreams were dreaming of We're taught to fear what we don't know Why can't we let it go Oh why can't we let it go And find the courage to be kind I want to be brave enough to walk my love Across these party lines This little light of yours and mine It's time to let it shine Gonna find the courage to be kind This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine Let it shine let it shine let it shine
