If you see your brother standin' by the road

With a heavy load, from the seeds he sowed

And if you see your sister fallin' by the way

Just stop and say, you're goin' the wrong way



You've got to try a little kindness

Yeah, show a little kindness

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 a narrow minded street



Don't walk around the down and out

Lend a helpin' hand, instead of doubt

And the kindness that you show-ow everyday

Will help someone along their way



You've got to try a little kindness

Yeah, show a little kindness

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 a narrow minded street



You've got to try a little kindness

Yeah show a little kindness

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 a narrow minded street
