Well 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 goin' the wrong way

You've got to try a little kindness
Show a little kindness
Just shine your light for-or 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

Now don't look down upon the down and out
Lend a helping hand, instead of doubt
And the kindness that we show along the way
Will help someone to find their way

You've got to try a little kindness
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 the narrow minded people
On the narrow minded streets

You've got to try a little kindness
Come on, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
A-and if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow mi-inded people
On the narrow minde-ed streets
