If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sown
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

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 the narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded street


Don't walk around all down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day

Might help someone along life's 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 the narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets


Oh, you've got to try a little kindness
Just 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 the narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
