Humble and Kind

Humble and Kind, composed by Lori McKenna, was inspired by her own children. Lori wrote the song as a simple and heartfelt reminder of what she wanted her five children to know about life. The song, popularized by Tim McGraw, emphasizes the importance of humility and kindness in a world that sometimes forgets these fundamental values.
