Be Kind to Yourself

Lyrics: David Roth Music: David Roth I have my moments, yes I do And I have my dramas just like you When the weight of the world comes crashing through And I'm needing somebody to lean on
I look in the mirror and I see A bundle of nerves where I used to be I remember the words you said to me The words that you said to me
Be kind to yourself, be kind to you That's what you're here on earth to do If you just let your love shine through Then life may be kind to you
It's easier said than done, I know I'm the first to admit I take it slow I just have a hard time letting go Letting go of the critic inside me
Sometimes I prefer to stand and fight Then you remind me "Take it light Would you rather be happy or be right? Would you rather be happy or right?"
Be kind to yourself, be kind to you That's what you're here on earth to do If you just let your love shine through Then life may be kind to you
How can you hope to be helping someone If your own life is twisted and twirled You've got to pull out your broom and clean your own room Before you can clean up the world
If I were a master, old and wise And people would ask me for advice I'd just tell 'em all to memorize The words that you said to me
Be kind to yourself, be kind to you That's what you're here on earth to do If you just let your love shine through Then life may be kind to you Be kind to yourself, be kind to you That's what you're here on earth to do If you just let your love shine through Then life may be kind to you life may be kind to you
