[English]

I want kindness

...

Sometimes it could be your neighbor, it could be a stranger

Doesn't matter who you are

If we all give a little kindness, something to remind us

Everybody has a heart

When life's a bummer

And suddenly the rug gets pulled from under

Feels like the cloud is gonna last forever

But then you show up with a loving gesture

And make it better

If you're going through something

Reach out, hug someone

Tell 'em you love 'em

Hey-hey-hey

If you're going through something

Reach out, call someone

Tell 'em you love 'em

Hey-hey-hey

Sometimes it could be your neighbor, it could be a stranger

Doesn't matter who you are

If we all give a little kindness, something to remind us

Everybody has a heart

Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, oh-oh

Everybody has a heart

Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, oh-oh (oh-oh)

Everybody has a heart (yeah)

We're all so different

But I think we can all agree on one thing

Love is the answer to all of our questions

So when you hear this song, pass on the message

We're all connected

If you're going through something

Reach out, hug someone

Tell 'em you love 'em

Hey-hey-hey

If you're going through something

Reach out, call someone

Tell 'em you love 'em

Hey-hey-hey

Sometimes it could be your neighbor, it could be a stranger

Doesn't matter who you are

If we all give a little kindness, something to remind us

Everybody has a heart

Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, oh-oh

(Everybody) everybody has a heart

Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone, oh-oh

(Everybody) everybody has a heart

I love you
