Kindness Makes a Friend

[Verse 1]
In a jungle green beneath the sun,
Lived a mighty lion who loved to run.
He strutted past the vines and trees,
Roaring louder than the breeze.

[Chorus]
“I’m the king, I’m strong and brave!
Everyone must do what I say!”
But a clever friend can show the way:
Kindness makes a better day.

[Verse 2]
A little monkey smiled and said,
“Being kind is best,” he gently said.
The lion laughed, “Kindness? Ha!
I’m strong and brave—that’s who I am!”

[Chorus]
“I’m the king, I’m strong and brave!
Everyone must do what I say!”
But a clever friend can show the way:
Kindness makes a better day.

[Bridge]
Then one day, the lion fell in a trap—
He roared and roared: CRASH! SNAP!
The monkey heard his mighty cry,
And quickly came running by.

[Verse 3]
He chewed the ropes with teeth so small,
Nibble, nibble—through them all!
The lion stepped out, safe and free,
And bowed beneath the mango tree.

[Final Chorus]
“Thank you, friend,” the lion said,
“I was proud and wrong,” he bowed his head.
Strength is useful, this is true,
But kindness makes a friend of you!

[Outro]
The lion smiled, the monkey grinned,
Together they made a jungle friend.
When we help each other through,
Kindness makes the brave thing too!
