Last song on To Be Kind. It embodies the feeling and experience of being a child, reminiscing the naive perspective one has before realizing the true nature of the world. Michael sees this very innocence as a beautiful thing, its own artistic expression, like a song.
[Verse]
To be kind, to be kind
To be kind, to be kind
To be kind, to be kind
To be real, to be new
To be sung by a song that's untrue
The falling sun, the fallen one
In a bed, painted blue, touching you
Listening, just listening
To the rain, to the wind, in the field
To be kind, to be kind
To be lost, in a bed, touching you
To be lost, to be lost
To be found in the sound of this room
[Outro]
There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes
There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes
There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes
There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes
