Courage to Be Kind - Crystal Bowersox

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

Its 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 sins

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

Its 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

Kinder than we’ve ever been

Let’s find a way to love again, love again, let’s 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 feel safe, all wanna be loved

We’ve all got dreams were dreaming of

Were taught to fear what we don’t know

Why can’t we let it go…

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

Gonna let it shine…

This little light of mine

I’m gonna let it shine…

Gonna find the courage to be kind
