The Most Important Songs of the Rock Era: Songs That Changed the World--"Put a Little Love in Your Heart" by Jackie DeShannon

How often is it in life where the simplest things are the toughest?  Solving every problem in the world is as simple as putting a little love in our hearts.  Or more accurate, letting the love that's already in there out.

"Put a Little Love in Your Heart"

by Jackie DeShannon

Written by Jackie DeShannon, Randy Myers and Jimmy Holiday

Think of your fellow man
lend him a helping hand
put a little love in your heart.
You see it's getting late
oh please don't hesitate
put a little love in your heart.

And the world will be a better place
and the world will be a better place
for you and me
you just wait and see

Another day goes by
and still the children cry
put a little love in your heart.
If you want the world to know
we won't let hatred grow
put a little love in your heart.

And the world will be a better place
and the world will be a better place
for you and me
you just wait and see

Take a good look around and
if you're lookin' down
put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
kindness will be your guide
put a little love in your heart.

And the world will be a better place
and the world will be a better place
for you and me
you just wait and see

put a little love in your heart each and every day
put a little love in your heart there's no other way
put a lttle love in your heart, it's up to you
put a little love in your heart...
