A folk song/love song that was written during the 1970s, while living in California.
(chorus)
Kindness flows out of your heart
Kindness stares out of your eyes
Kindness comes out of your mouth
Kindness appears when you cry.
(verses)
Money gets scarce and people still sleep
And bureaucrats mess up some lives.
Liars debate and businessmen rape
And your kindness it warms up the night. (chorus)
Rebels they arm and rich men get scared
And refugees vow to return.
Armies they train and tyrants proclaim
And your kindness makes me feel less stern. (chorus)
Blizzards arrive and evil men die
And newsmen distort history.
Taxicabs stall and athletes play ball
But your kindness creates your beauty. (chorus)
Books they get read and fools get ahead
And dictators starve you and me.
Italy screams and France makes a scene
And your kindness inspires new deeds. (chorus
