Courage, care, and coconuts

They told me kindness was soft and sweet,
Like a coconut drink in a midday heat.
But kindness ain’t soft when it’s got to stand tall
It’ll call out a lie and still care through it all.

[Chorus]
Courage, care, and coconuts
That’s how truth walks when the world erupts.
You can fake smiles and you can fake struts,
But not courage, care, or coconuts.

Care without courage? Just passive applause.
Truth without guts? Just a noble lost cause.
Fraternity fails if we won’t say the wrong
You can’t sing “equality” with a cowardly song.

Kind is clear.
More clear than nice.
Nice watches evil and won’t blink twice.
But kind? Kind speaks up.

Kind takes the hit.
Kind still shows up.
Kind don’t quit.

[Chorus]
Courage, care, and coconuts
Truth ain’t fancy, but it’s got guts.
Skip the glitter, toss the ruts
Give me courage, care… and coconuts.
