we don't need to be close
but i ask that you show me
common courtesy like a party host or hostess
its common and tends to be easy
its not a child's game like hide and seek or parcheezi

Reflected kindness is all that i ask
Enough empathy to fill up the biggest alcoholic’s flask
Special treatment is not needed
Posing as someone else won't get you higher, no desire for a person who is conceited
Even enemies on opposite sides of the battle fields respect each other
Conceal your inner hatred be the bigger person
Tolerance is the key to understanding life

its something everyone needs to learn
like sharing and taking turns
now its yours
no more little ups and downs open up the doors
let in light and a calming breeze
it's your life you hold the keys

Reflected kindness is all that i ask
Enough empathy to fill up the biggest alcoholic’s flask
Special treatment is not needed
Posing as someone else won't get you higher, no desire for a person who is conceited
Even enemies on opposite sides of the battle fields respect each other
Conceal your inner hatred be the bigger person
Tolerance is the key to understanding life

don't go and bomb
the five pillars of islam
just because its not what you believe
don't be naive
not all of them need to be hated against
its not complicated to make friends
