Try a Little Kindness

Jan Howard · Rock Me Back to Little Rock [Decca] [1970]

(Bobby Austin - Curt Sapaugh)



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 everyone to see

And if you'll try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness

Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets.



--- Instrumental ---



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've got to try a little kindness, show a little kindness

Just shine your light for everyone to see

And if you'll 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, show a little kindness

Just shine your light for everyone to see

And if you'll try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness

Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets...
