Cruel Cannot Be Kind
It can hurt you
It can hate you
It can take away your trust
It can break the bonds of love
It can eat at you like rust
It can burrow in your mind
And the thing that you will find is
Cruel Cannot Be Kind

Cruel Cannot Be Kind
It takes courage to be good
It takes strength to understand
It takes power and compassion
To respect and lend a hand
It is weak to show your cruelty
It's a coward causes pain
It makes no sense to hurt someone
There cannot be a gain
Cruel Cannot Be Kind

Cruel Cannot Be Kind
Ask yourself a question
Am I weak or am I strong?
Can I control my actions?
Or do I just follow wrong?
Being cruel is easy
A fool's way to live
Fear and degradation
Much harder to forgive
To be bad, to be dishonest
Bringing on your shame
Only makes it that much harder
When you want to join the game
Cruel Cannot Be Kind
