Less of Me
Embracing Empathy: A Harmony of Selflessness in 'Less of Me'
Lyrics
Let me be a little kinder
Expressing a desire to show more kindness.
Let me be a little blinder
Expressing a willingness to overlook faults.
To the faults of those about me
Acknowledging the imperfections of others.
Let me praise a little more
Expressing a desire to give more praise.
Let me be when I am weary
Expressing a desire to maintain cheerfulness when weary.
Just a little bit more cheery
Desiring to be more positive in challenging times.
Think a little more of others
Emphasizing the importance of thinking about others.
And a little less of me
Advocating humility and selflessness.
Let me be a little braver
Expressing a desire to be more courageous.
When temptation bids me waver
Recognizing the challenge of resisting temptation.
Let me strive a little harder
Expressing a commitment to strive for self-improvement.
To be all that I should be
Desiring to fulfill one's potential.
Let me be a little meeker
Expressing a desire to be more humble.
With the brother that is weaker
Expressing a commitment to support those who are weaker.
Let me think more of my neighbor
Stressing the importance of considering neighbors.
And a little less of me
Advocating for a focus on others rather than oneself.
Let me be when I am weary
Reiterating the desire to be cheerful during weariness.
Just a little bit more cheery
Reiterating the desire to maintain a positive attitude.
Let me serve a little better
Expressing a commitment to serve others better.
Those that I am strivin' for
Identifying a specific group for whom the speaker strives.
Let me be a little meeker
Reiterating the desire to be more humble.
With the brother that is weaker
Reiterating the commitment to support the weaker.
Think a little more of others
Emphasizing the importance of thinking about others.
And a little less of me
Advocating humility and selflessness.
