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

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

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

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
