verse: 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 going the wrong way" Chorus: 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 verse: Don't walk around the down and out, lend a helping hand instead of doubt And the kindness that you show everyday will help someone along their way Chorus(x2): 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
