The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kind words and a real good heart
Doesn't mean you get respect
Kind words and a real good heart
Doesn't mean you get the best
It doesn't mean they won't get brutal
It doesn't mean they won't assault you
With a kind heart
With a kind heart
Bad guys sometimes hard to find
Cos they don't all dress in black
Good guys sometime make mistake
I say don't look
Don't look back
Be mindful how you get used up
You can't always
Trust an honest man
Be mindful how you get used up
You can't always
Trust an honest man
You gotta make your own beginning
Mark it down
Growing pains
With a kind heart
With a kind heart
Kind words and a real good heart
Doesn't mean you get respect
Kind words and a real good heart
Doesn't mean you get the best
It doesn't mean the whole world loves you
It doesn't mean more than it means
A kind heart
A kind heart
Kind words and a real good heart
Doesn't mean you get respect
Kind words and a real good heart
Doesn't mean you get the best
