Be Nice
Embrace Kindness: Graham Pagano's Call to Change
Lyrics
I'm gonna be so nice today
I intend to act in a kind manner today.
So nice you might think I'm up to something bad
My kindness may be misunderstood as having ulterior motives.
But me, I'm not trying to cover up nothing I did wrong
I have nothing to hide or cover up regarding my past actions.
I'm pulling the plug on my mean machine
I'm stopping negative behavior or attitudes.
Until you've tried yourself, baby, please don't laugh
Don't mock or judge until you've experienced it yourself.
Take my advice, be nice, and you can sing along
Follow my advice to be kind, and you can join in singing.
Start wherever you are and use what you have
Start with what you have, wherever you are.
As long as you're breathing you've got to run
Continue to strive as long as you're alive.
Figure out what you want, what you want in the end
Define your goals and aspirations.
You might lose a lot of money and friends, be nice until you're done
Despite potential losses, be kind until your goals are achieved.
Be nice, just be nice
Emphasizing the importance of kindness.
No more screaming, beating my chest
No more aggressive behavior, no chest-thumping.
Not another angry button to press
Rejecting anger and avoiding triggering situations.
Demons tempt me not, 'cuz baby, I refuse
Refusing to be tempted by negative influences or demons.
Steal my food, my plate and my cup
Even if things are taken from me, I'll give generously.
I'll give you all, everything but up
Willingness to share everything except giving up.
Now I'll try nice 'cuz I've had it to hear with the blues
Choosing kindness as a response to challenges.
Be nice, I'll just be nice
Reiterating the commitment to being kind.
