The Most Important Songs of the Rock Era--Songs That Changed the World: "Try a Little Kindness" by Glen Campbell

We can all think of times when we were down in the dumps or just plain down and out and then someone came along and helped us, cheered us up, gave us a job.  Think of how good you felt and how grateful you were.  The message in this song is that you can do the same for someone else.  

"Try a Little Kindness"

by Glen Campbell

Written by Curt Sapaugh and Bobby Austin



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 yes show a little kindness
Yes shine your light for everyone to see
And if you'll try a little kindness and you'll overlook the blindness
Of the 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've got to try a little kindness...
You've got to try a little kindness...
