[Verse 1]
Greed wore gold on her sleeves
Lust came smiling with pearled teeth
Envy leaned in, cold and sweet
They circled him by the creek
They said, “Boy, come walk with us”
“Take the fruit, take the rush”
But he kept his gaze above
To a girl named Kindness in the dust
[Pre-Chorus]
She was mending torn-up sleeves
Sharing bread with hungry knees
No perfume, no pretty scheme
Just a steady place to breathe
[Chorus]
Kindness, Kindness
That’s the name he chose
Kindness, Kindness
Warm hands, steady soul
Greed can glitter, Lust can call
Envy never wins at all
Kindness, Kindness
That’s the road he knows
[Verse 2]
Greed said, “I can make you rich”
Lust said, “Follow me, quick”
Envy smiled, “You deserve more than this”
But he watched her help a tired kid
She gave her coat to the rain
Broke her loaf and split the flame
And the whole wide world seemed plain
When he saw that gentle name
[Pre-Chorus]
She was mending torn-up sleeves
Sharing bread with hungry knees
No perfume, no pretty scheme
Just a steady place to breathe
[Chorus]
Kindness, Kindness
That’s the name he chose
Kindness, Kindness
Warm hands, steady soul
Greed can glitter, Lust can call
Envy never wins at all
Kindness, Kindness
That’s the road he knows
[Bridge]
Greed grew quiet at the gate
Lust looked tired of the chase
Envy stared at her own face
And lost the need to race
He learned that beauty lives
In the help a heart can give
What you plant is what you keep
Virtue grows from what you feed
[Final Chorus]
Kindness, Kindness
That’s the name he chose
Kindness, Kindness
Warm hands, steady soul
Greed can glitter, Lust can call
Envy never wins at all
Kindness, Kindness
That’s the road he knows
Kindness, Kindness
Let it lead you home
