I picked up the morning paper
the headlines were no surprise
a random act of senseless violence

was committed again last night
it seems the whole world has gone crazy
and something needs to be done

so starting today, I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna repay someone


With a random act of senseless kindness
unexpected hand to help remind us
a little bit of love is the cure for hate

it's easy to give up but it's never too late
a single step in the right direction
person to person making a connection

we can change the world that's become so violent
with a random act of senseless kindness


How I long to live the simple life
when neighbors were still friends
and the sidewalks leading downtown

were safe to walk back then
the classrooms and the school yards
were havens for our kids

well, it's a long way back but we can get on track
today's a good day to begin


With a random act of senseless kindness
unexpected hand to help remind us
a little bit of love is the cure for hate

it's easy to give up but it's never too late
a single step in the right direction
person to person making a connection

we can change the world that's become so violent
with a random act of senseless kindness
