Lyrics
“Too Old To Be Kind”
(Lyrics - C. Webster - Music - K. Johnson)
Sara was born in a family of four
She and a brother were best of friends
They played and laughed on the floor
Happiness and joy, days with no end
She then noticed and asked what was wrong
Nothing they said, but she sensed the gloom
Her brother now had stopped playing along
Her days were now filled in an empty room
CHORUS:
Be kind - Simple pleasures
Be kind – Life's full of treasures
Be kind - And let is be told
Be kind – you're never too old
No longer their sweet darling or princess
Be Kind
All attention was spent on another
Be Kind
Her mind felt nothing but open distress
She's invisible to father and mother
Her life now seemed like an empty street
Be Kind
With all lanes ending at a tall stone wall
Be Kind
All others in her life seemed so upbeat
She often found herself without recall
CHORUS:
Her years of possibilities now over
Be Kind
She often thought of what could be
Be Kind
Life became like a three leaf clover
Tied to a line of strife, no longer free
You’re never too old to be kind
Thoughts now bitter and incomplete
Be Kind
Sensing all were evil and maligned
Be Kind
In a constant state of mental retreat
She was now too old to be kind.
CHORUS:
