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 say "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

I'm on the beam, I've got a flash On how to live in the civilization To make a dream come out of hash Give a little, get a little love A morning smile, an evening kiss Can be the pills for the ills of the nation Don't cramp your style, remember this Give a little, get a little love No love, no hope Then life's a dungeon so throw the sponge in With love there's hope Sing hey hallelujah So take a share and share the fun And keep the cold from this whole constellation It's everywhere for everyone Make a little, take a little Take a little, live a little Give a little, get a little love You carry on, tied in a knot To earn the pay that your neighbor is earning But when it's gone, what have you got Give a little, get a little love You never think till there's a storm And till the real things you feel like returning You know that mink won't keep you warm Give a little, get a little love No love, no joy Then life's a nuisance and not worth two cents With love, there's joy Sing hey hallelujah So take a share and share the fun And keep the cold from this whole constellation It's everywhere, for everyone Make a little, take a little Take a little, live a little Give a little, get a little love No joy, no joy Give a little, get a little Give a little, get a little Make a little, take a little Live a little, give a little Give a little, get a little love
