if you see your brother standing by the road
with a heavy load from the seeds he sold
and if you see your sister falling by the way
just stop and say you're going the wrong way
you've got to try a little kindness yeah
show a little kindness yeah
shine your light for everyone to see
and if you try a little kindness
then you'll overlook the blindness
of the 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've got to try a little kindness yeah
show a little kindness yes
shine your light for everyone to see
and if you try a little kindness
then you'll overlook the blindness
of the narrow minded people
on the narrow minded streets
you've got to try a little kindness yes
lord show a little kindness
you shine your light for everyone to see
and if you try a little kindness
then you'll overlook the blindness
of the narrow minded people
on the narrow minded streets
