An Act Of Kindness Lyrics

An act of kindness
Is what you show to me
Not more than I can take
Not more than I can take
Kindness is what you show to me
It holds me 'till I ache
Overflow and start to break

Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down
Oh I, kind of hoping this will turn me round

And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day

An act of kindness
Is what you show to me
It caught me by surprise in this town of glass and eyes
Kindness, so many people pass me by
But you warm me to my core and you left me wanting more

Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down
Oh I, kind of hoping it will turn me round
Oh I, got a feeling that however slow
Oh I, kind of hoping this will reach my soul

And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day

Oh my back's up against the wall
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
Want nothing in return
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
Oh my back's up against the wall
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
Want nothing in return
I feel guilty, I feel guilty

And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day

Back's up against the wall
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
And you want nothing in return
I feel guilty, I feel guilty

What is the Meaning of An Act Of Kindness?

In a world often dominated by self-interest and indifference, the protagonist encounters an unexpected gesture of goodwill that sends ripples through his existence. This act of kindness, simple yet profound, shakes him to his core and follows him like a lingering echo. It's a surprise in a society often perceived as cold and distant - represented metaphorically as a "town of glass and eyes". The song captures the transformative power of kindness, how it can instill guilt for not reciprocating, yet inspire change. It explores the emotional turmoil of receiving something without expectation of return - stirring feelings of unworthiness and guilt but also gratitude and hope for personal growth. #PowerOfKindness #EmotionalAwakening #PersonalGrowth
