I don't understand faith, and i don't know if i ever will I don't understand faith, so i asked around, intent on learn-ing. First I asked a priest, what is that strange thing that they call 'faith' can you explain it in the least? and he stood a moment, and he then spake. "Be kind, and be kind, and the world will be kind in kind, as long as it's turning And be kind and be kind and the world will be kind in kind, that's what you should be learning" I don't understand faith, and i don't know if i ever will I don't understand faith, and i didn't understand it still So then I asked a monk, In a buddist temple by a Far Eastern sea For awhile he thought and this is what he did say to me: "Child, be kind and be kind and the world will be kind in kind, as long as it keeps turning And be kind and be kind and the world will be kind in kind, that's what you should be living" <...> If it's "be kind and be kind and the world will be kind in kind", then why is Sarejevo burn-ing? And a very wise man then came to me And said in words of gold and words of steel "Oh, there are many faiths, as you can very plainly see and those who hold those faiths, are ordinary just like me and you And they are not perfect and the actions that they do are sometimes to their own ideals not that true. So don't judge those faiths by what their imperfect holders may do just be kind and be kind and the world will be kind in kind, even though Sarejevo is burning. And be kind and be kind and the world will be kind in kind, and kindness you must be returning" I don't understand faith, and i don't think i ever will But I'll be kind and be kind and the world will be kind in kind, and kindness I will be returning
