Well if you see your brother standing by the road

With a heavy load, from the seeds he sowed

And if you see your sister falling by the way

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



You've got to try a little kindness

Show a little kindness

Just shine your light for-or 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



Now don't look down upon the down and out

Lend a helping hand, instead of doubt

And the kindness that we show along the way

Will help someone to find their way



You've got to try a little kindness

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 the narrow minded people

On the narrow minded streets



You've got to try a little kindness

Come on, show a little kindness

Just shine your light for everyone to see

A-and if you try a little kindness

Then you'll overlook the blindness

Of the narrow mi-inded people

On the narrow minde-ed streets ...
