If you see your brother standin' by the road
With a heavy load, from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister fallin' by the way
Just stop and say, you're goin' the wrong way

You've got to try a little kindness
Yeah, 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 narrow minded people
On a narrow minded street

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helpin' hand, instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show-ow everyday
Will help someone along their way

You've got to try a little kindness
Yeah, 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 narrow minded people
On a narrow minded street

You've got to try a little kindness
Yeah 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 narrow minded people
On a narrow minded street
