This song is Josh asking why kindness seems like such an outstanding thing. It shouldn’t be something we look at and go, “Wow, I can’t believe someone did something nice for me today!” We should just expect that behavior from others and ourselves.
[Verse 1]
Maybe you're not like me
Maybe we don't agree
Maybe that doesn't mean we gotta be enemies
Maybe we just get brave
Take a big leap of faith
Call a truce so me and you can find a better way
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's take our time, open our eyes, look and listen (look and listen)
We're gonna find we're more alike than we are different (yeah)
[Chorus]
Why does kindness seem revolutionary?
When did we let hate get so ordinary?
Let's turn it around, flip the script
Judge slow, love quick
God help us get revolutionary
(Woah, ohh)
Revolutionary
(Woah, ohh)
Let's get, let's get
(Woah, ohh)
Revolutionary
(Woah, ohh)
[Verse 2]
I'm turning the TV down
Drowning their voices out
'Cause I believe that you and me can find some common ground
See, maybe I'm not like you
But I'll walk a mile in your shoes
If it means I might see the world the way you do
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's take some time, open our eyes, look and listen
We're gonna find we're more alike than we are different
[Chorus]
Why does kindness seem revolutionary?
When did we let hate get so ordinary?
Let's turn it around, flip the script
Judge slow, love quick
God help us get revolutionary
(Woah, ohh)
Revolutionary
(Woah, ohh)
Let's get, let's get
(Woah, ohh)
Revolutionary
(Woah, ohh)
[Bridge]
What would Jesus do?
He would love first
He would love first
What would Jesus do?
He would love first
He would love first
So we should love first
[Chorus]
Why does kindness seem revolutionary?
When did we let hate get so ordinary?
Let's turn it around, flip the script
Judge slow, love quick
God help us get revolutionary
(Woah, ohh)
Revolutionary
(Woah, ohh)
Let's get, let's get
(Woah, ohh)
Revolutionary
God help us get revolutionary
