Lyrics:
|
If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed And if you see your sister falling by the way Just stop and say, you're going the wrong way Chorus: You got to try a little kindness Yes show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness Then you'll overlook the blindness Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets Don't walk around the down and out Lend a helping hand instead of doubt And the kindness that you show every day Will help someone along their way Chorus x 2: |
