Cool to Be Kind

Verse 1
Wake up, shoes tied, ready for the day!
Got my backpack, got my A-game, time to play.
But wait, what's that? A whispered word, a little sneer?
Someone trying to push me down, fueled by fear!
They might talk big, they might look tough and strong,
But their shadow's getting short when they're always doing wrong.
Listen close, here's the truth you need to know:
Their bad energy? You gotta let it go!

Pre-Chorus
They might say your shirt's a flop, they might call you slow.
But their words are just balloons, watch 'em pop, pop, pop, oh!
'Cause their opinion's just a whisper, yours is a shout,
What defines you is the good you let come out!

Chorus
It's cool to be kind! It's cool to be good!
The real superheroes help the neighborhood!
Don't need a cape, don't need to be mean,
Kindness is a superpower, the best you've ever seen!
Lift 'em up! High five! Give a friend a hand!
That's the ultimate power in this whole wide land!
(Yeah!) It's cool to be kind! (Oh!) It's cool to be kind!

Verse 2
If you see a friend sitting lonely on the bench,
Or someone struggling with a problem, digging a trench...
Stop and look, don't just run and zoom away,
A little smile can totally change their day!
'Cause true strength is reaching out and being a light,
Not pushing people down to prove that you are right.
When we help each other grow, we all stand taller,
The kindest kid in class is the true top-caller!

Pre-Chorus
They might say your game's a flop, they might call you slow.
But their words are just balloons, watch 'em pop, pop, pop, oh!
'Cause their opinion's just a whisper, yours is a shout,
What defines you is the good you let come out!

Chorus
It's cool to be kind! It's cool to be good!
The real superheroes help the neighborhood!
Don't need a cape, don't need to be mean,
Kindness is a superpower, the best you've ever seen!
Lift 'em up! High five! Give a friend a hand!
That's the ultimate power in this whole wide land!
(Yeah!) It's cool to be kind! (Oh!) It's cool to be kind!

Bridge
If someone tries to dim your shine, remember this line:
You are awesome, you are stellar, you are truly one of a kind!
They can't steal your sparkle, they can't take your light.
Just flip the script and make the choice to do what's right!
Show 'em the power, the super-duper-secret rule:
Being a lifter-upper is the definition of cool!

Chorus
It's cool to be kind! It's cool to be good!
The real superheroes help the neighborhood!
Don't need a cape, don't need to be mean,
Kindness is a superpower, the best you've ever seen!
Lift 'em up! High five! Give a friend a hand!
That's the ultimate power in this whole wide land!
(Yeah!) It's cool to be kind! (Oh!) It's cool to be kind!

Outro
Be kind! Be good! Yeah!
You are cool!
