May Your Kindness Remain
Kindness Beyond Riches: Courtney Marie Andrews' Powerful Message
Lyrics
You're a good woman, and a good friend
You possess qualities of goodness as a woman and a friend.
You've got a good heart, even when it's busted and bent
Your heart is inherently good, even when it's damaged or broken.
Lipstick and perfume, underground queen
You adorn yourself with lipstick and perfume, embodying an underground queen.
Wearing loneliness like a costume, for the whole world to see
You wear loneliness like a costume, displaying it openly for everyone to see.
And if your money runs out, and your good looks fade
If you face financial struggles and lose physical attractiveness,
May your kindness remain
May your kindness endure as a defining trait.
Broke on a barstool, throwing your paycheck away
In a state of destitution at a bar, wasting your earnings,
On overpriced booze, slots, and valet
Spending recklessly on expensive drinks, gambling, and valet services.
Fortune might buy you diamonds, all shiny and new
Wealth may afford you new, shiny diamonds,
But it can't buy you happiness, or love that is true
Yet, it cannot buy genuine happiness or true love.
And if your money runs out, and your good looks fade
If you experience financial hardship and lose attractiveness,
May your kindness remain
May your kindness persist as a guiding quality.
The richest of people aren't rich with houses, cars, or fame
The wealthiest individuals aren't rich in possessions, fame, or homes.
No, they're not rich with something that can be bought, or arranged
True richness lies in something unbuyable or arranged,
No, it's kindness that makes them beautiful
Kindness, which renders them beautiful.
And a kind heart don't cost a dime
A kind heart doesn't have a monetary cost,
It's a gift that keeps giving, for the rest of your life
It's a gift that continues to give throughout your lifetime.
And if your money runs out, and your good looks fade
If you encounter financial struggles and lose physical allure,
May your kindness remain
May your kindness endure and remain a central aspect of your being.
