Lyrics
Hey.....Gonna go the mile
Gearing up to make an extended effort
Hey.....Turn the other cheek & smile
Choosing to respond with kindness and a positive attitude despite adversity
I don't know why you thought I
Expressing confusion about why the person expected to provoke tears
Would be the one to tempt to cry
Refuting the assumption that they would succumb to emotional manipulation
Never mind the games you played
Disregarding or overlooking the manipulative actions taken by the other person
Forgiveness, for you I pray
Expressing a desire for forgiveness towards the individual despite their actions
Oooh.....Gonna kill'em with kindness
Planning to respond to negativity or hostility with kindness
Oooh.....Let Grace find us
Invoking the concept of grace to guide their actions and reactions
Hey.....Gonna go the extra mile
Committing to go the extra distance or effort in a situation
I said hey.....Turn the other cheek & smile
Reiterating the choice to respond positively despite challenges
Oooh.... Gonna kill'em with kindness
Reaffirming the intention to counter negativity with kindness
Oooh.....Let Grace find us
Reemphasizing the reliance on grace to guide their actions
Hey.....Gonna go the extra mile
Continuing the commitment to go above and beyond in efforts
Hey.....Turn the other cheek & smile
Repeating the choice to respond positively and with a smile despite challenges
No eye for an eye
Rejecting the idea of seeking revenge or retaliation
No tooth for a tooth
Rejecting the idea of repaying harm with harm
Blessed are the peacemakers
Referencing the value of those who work towards peace
And that's the truth
Asserting the truth of valuing peace and non-retaliation
