If you see your brother standing by the road   With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed   And if you see your sister falling by the way   Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way      You 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 streets      Don't walk around the 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 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 streets      You 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 streets
