Humble and Kind

You know there’s a light that glows by the front door
Don’t forget the key’s under the mat.
When childhood stars shine
Always stay humble and kind.
Go to church ’cause your mamma says to
Visit grandpa every chance that you can.
It won’t be wasted time
Always stay humble and kind.
Hold the door, say, “please,” say “thank you”
Don’t steal, don’t cheat, and don’t lie,
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind.
When the dreams you’re dreamin’ come to you,
When the work you put in is realized,
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind.
Don’t expect a free ride from no one,
Don’t hold a grudge or a chip and here’s why,
Bitterness keeps you from flyin’
Always stay humble and kind.
Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love.
“I love you” ain’t no pick-up line
So always stay humble and kind.
Hold the door, say, “please,” say “thank you,”
Don’t steal, don’t cheat, and don’t lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind.
When those dreams you’re dreamin’ come to you
When the work you put in is realized,
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind.
When it’s hot, eat a root beer popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down,
Let that summer sun shine
Always stay humble and kind.
Don’t take for granted the love this life gives you,
When you get where you’re going, don’t forget turn back around
And help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind.
