Indiscriminate Act of Kindness

Lyrics

She came in from the cold, dropped her luggage bags
 Looks at the concierge in the eye
 Said, "I need a room for the night, but I don't got, no money
 Would you take payment in kind?"
 He said, "It's alright, I got a room here, you can share mine
 Make the bed in the morning and that will do fine
 You can change in the bathroom, hang your clothes on the line"
 A tear came to her eyes, she thought, "How could he be so kind?"
 How could he be so kind?
 How could he be so kind?
 She sat down on the bed with a needle
 And he said, "I would hate to see you bleed out
 Just fetch a warm towel and then sit here 'til you're dry"
 She started to cry, said, "Why, why, why, why, why, why?"
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 She was cold turkey, he was holding her hand
 She said, "I was ruined by a man, this was never in my plans
 I've dreamed of men who loved me, together we'd see the world
 Somehow I lost myself among the insults they hurled"
 I'm sure you're a wonderful woman
 And someday there will surely be someone
 So just relax, it's important that you're calm
 She said, "How is it you can see past me as I am?"
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 'Til when you took your chances, it was like you placed a bet
 And sometimes this is the reward you can get
 Well, I was always taught, "If you see someone defiled
 You should look them in the eye and smile
 Take their heart, no better still
 Take them home, home, home"
 ♪
 She awoke early in the morning
 Made the bed, gathered up her clothes to leave
 Saw the concierge curled on the settee
 And said, what you did for me is hard for me to believe
 I was just doing what was right
 Nobody that knows love could leave you out there on such a night
 If you can help someone, bear this in mind
 And consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 I consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
 Of kindness
