Edmund Snyder - Your Kind of Kindness Lyrics

You've been my dearest friend since the day I was born
You gave me comfort and strength and such
And you helped me weather so many storms
Some days I'd come home from school in tears
From the cruelty so often found there
You always made it look so easy to still find a reason to care
Watching you made me see the person I wanted to be
All the hatred in the world and all the blindness
Could be turned away with your kind of kindness
After years came a day when you had your own daughter
Then your path led you away, so far away across the water
Now every day I think at length of how you made my world a better place
And I still draw upon you strength which makes every obstacle easier to face
Watching you made me see the person I wanted to be
All the hatred in the world and all the blindness
Could be turned away with your kind of kindness
Don't think for a second I begrudge you
I'm happy that you found your own family
If they learn your gentle strength
They'll look forward to a beautiful destiny
Watching you made me see the person I wanted to be
All the hatred in the world and all the blindness
Could be turned away with your kind of kindness
