Lyrics
English
It takes a big heart and a brave soul,
To drive someone’s troubles away,
Everyone promises to offer help tomorrow,
But very few can step forward to help today,
Those who dare to act right now, rather than later
Know the real meaning of kindness.
It is this urge of wanting to make a visible difference,
Is when kindliness actually becomes godliness.
To drive someone’s troubles away,
Everyone promises to offer help tomorrow,
But very few can step forward to help today,
Those who dare to act right now, rather than later
Know the real meaning of kindness.
It is this urge of wanting to make a visible difference,
Is when kindliness actually becomes godliness.
Summary
This poem says that a big heart and a brave soul are needed to remove
another person’s troubles. Many people promise to help tomorrow, but
only a few step forward and help today. Those who act at once instead of
delaying understand the real meaning of kindness. The desire to make a
visible positive difference turns kindness into a deeper form of
goodness. The poem therefore encourages immediate, practical, and
compassionate action.
