If you see your brother standin' by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And 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, yes 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 the narrow-minded street

Don't walk around a 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, 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 street

You've 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 street
