Details
This OBV original song was produced for the National Day of Action Against Bullying in March 2022 and has been a big YouTube hit for One Big Voice with tens of thousands of views. Many choirs chose it following the resumption of choral singing after the easing of covid restrictions.
One Kind Word shines a spotlight on a core dimension of bullying, the isolation of the victim. They experience feelings of imprisonment, helplessness and worthlessness. The song asserts that it is simple kindness that can do so much to counter these.
In a dream I listened and as they spoke
My nightmare vanished And I awoke
It emphasises that kindness, while gentle is also extremely powerful.
The ice it cracks it breaks; it falls the walls they crash
When you are kind
The walls they smash
The song finishes in uplifting fashion with feelings of triumph and celebration and the key message that just a small gesture can make a huge difference…
One Kind Word is all it takes.
