Courage to Be Kind - Manizha

Sweetheart, think how much better it would be

If you through life could just preserve your beauty.

It really doesn’t matter much to me

I don’t know why you think it is your duty

And don’t you think that through some kindly thought —

You’ve got much better chance to change the world

Those wrinkles on your face, dear,

Those bags beneath your eyes

Are but the evil trace, dear,

Of temper, spite and lies.

Why can’t you just be kind, dear,

Why…

Consider, sweetheart, if you smiled always

How much, through weeks, your face might be improving

In place of which, in these unhappy days,

You go to beauty shops for the removing

Of imperfections, wrinkles,

Blemishes and ugly spots

Why, when a smile will serve, you look for this these resorts?

Why can’t you raise a grin, sweet,

And be a little beauty?

Cause shining from within sweet

Has always been your duty.

So, for our sake, why can’t you make

An effort to be glad.

Just see yourself the way I do

Trust me you’re not that bad.
