Lyrics

V1:
[Intro]
(Well hey now, MAKA MAKA, let’s make a little ruckus!)

[Verse 1]  
Make a move, make a smile  
Make it stick, make it wild  
Make a pie, share a slice  
Make it twice if it’s that nice  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Kindness kickin’ up some dust  
Laughin’ louder’s a must  
Let the bitter hearts go bust  
While we’re MAKA-dancin’ on the rust  

[Chorus]  
MAKA MAKA, make it right  
Make a friend in morning light  
MAKA MAKA, plant the seed  
Grow a world that’s built on need  

MAKA MAKA, sing it loud  
Kindness wears the boldest shroud  
MAKA MAKA, yes indeed  
It’s the only thing we really need  

[Verse 2]  
Make a joke, make it true  
Make ‘em blush, then smile too  
Make a mess of grumpy glares  
Kindness don’t play solitaire  

[Bridge]  
What makes a country grand?  
A million kind and calloused hands  
MAKA hearts and banjo strings  
That’s the song a true soul sings  

[Chorus]  
MAKA MAKA, make it right  
Make a friend in morning light  
MAKA MAKA, plant the seed  
Grow a world that’s built on need  

MAKA MAKA, sing it loud  
Kindness wears the boldest shroud  
MAKA MAKA, yes indeed  
It’s the only thing we really need  

[Outro]  
(Make a pie, share a slice...)  
(MAKA MAKA, baby, be nice!)

V2: CIRCUS: 

[Intro]  
(Welcome to the show... and the kindness cabaret!)

[Verse 1]  
Make a scene, make ‘em stare  
Make ‘em laugh with loving flair  
Make a quip, make it kind  
MAKA truth that twists the mind  

[Pre-Chorus - Vaudeville Wink]  
Kindness in a feathered hat  
Struts the stage, imagine that  
Twirlin' past the cynical  
With a grin that’s clinical  

[Chorus]  
MAKA MAKA, make ‘em feel  
That kindness walks in heels of steel  
MAKA MAKA, what a tease  
She’ll hug you down onto your knees  

MAKA MAKA, red balloon  
Pop the hate, and sing in tune  
MAKA MAKA, what a ride  
We’re swingin’ sweet with arms open wide  

[Verse 2]  
Make a mess, mop it proud  
Make a wish, then shout it loud  
Make a toast to circus grace  
Where kindness paints a clown’s own face  

[Bridge]  
Before you hiss, before you boo  
Ask what kindness sees in you  
Glittered tears and gentle might  
It’s kindness twirling through the night  

[Chorus]  
MAKA MAKA, make ‘em feel  
That kindness walks in heels of steel  
MAKA MAKA, what a tease  
She’ll hug you down onto your knees  

MAKA MAKA, red balloon  
Pop the hate, and sing in tune  
MAKA MAKA, what a ride  
We’re swingin’ sweet with arms open wide  

[Outro]  
(MAKA MAKA... make it kind...)  
(Oh baby, kindness is divine...)

V4:
[Verse 1]
MAKA MAKA, what’s the fuss?
Was it hugs that made you cuss?
Did a stranger smile too wide?
Now your soul feels verified?

[Chorus]
Kindness ain't weak, it’s the fire in the fight,
It’s a soft-spoken rebel with a torch in the night.
MAKA MAKA, make it loud, make it proud,
Make America Kind Already, say it out loud.

[Verse 2]
MAKA MAKA, bless your bark,
But honey, kindness leaves a mark.
It ain’t preachy, it ain’t fake,
It’s the hand you hold when you break.

[Bridge]
You got a right to rage, yeah, that’s true
But what if kindness got there too?
What if strength was soft and sly
And built you wings instead of why?

[Final Chorus]
Kindness, sweet sass, it’s a revolutionary creed,
It’s a punk rock prayer for a world in need.
MAKA MAKA, let it start with you and me
A little wild, a little weird, and radically free.

V5:
[Verse 1]
Step right up to the kindness parade,
Where confetti falls and debts get paid.
MAKA MAKA, can you hear that tune?
It’s the sound of a softer, sassier moon.

[Chorus]
Kindness, oh darling, kindness, strip away the mean,
Let’s toss the spite in the washing machine.
MAKA MAKA, dance it slow, kiss your ego, let it go,
Make America Kind Already, curtain show!

[Verse 2]
MAKA MAKA, don’t be shy,
Even lions purr and clowns can cry.
It’s the velvet rope of grace and grit,
A kiss, a laugh, and a candle lit.

[Bridge]
Kindness ain’t quiet, it taps in heels,
It shouts with jazz, it spins its wheels.
It paints the world in rouge and blue
And winks at pain, then pulls you through.

[Final Chorus]
Kindness, sweet sugar, it’s a glamorous flair,
Like a fox in pearls or truth in a dare.
MAKA MAKA, let it swing, let it sting,
Make America Kind Already... let freedom sing.
