Kindness
Saw a little kid hold a door for a man about five times his age
And somebody bought my coffee at the drive thru yesterday
We tend to run full steam ahead and never stop to smile
So I called up my Grandpa just to talk for a little while
If kindness was contagious and no one could escape it
Hate would be a four-letter word nobody used
Different isn’t dangerous - hands are meant for shakin’
Hearts we’re made for making love - this I promise you
The world would be such a better place if
Kindness was contagious
A church group helped rebuild a house that burned up down the road
And a stranger walked across town to bring somebody’s lost dog home
It’s easy getting caught up looking out for number one
But we know how good it can feel when we stop to help someone
If kindness was contagious and no one could escape it
Hate would be a four-letter word nobody used
Different isn’t dangerous - hands are meant for shakin’
Hearts we’re made for making love - this I promise you
The world would be such a better place if
Kindness was contagious
Just ‘cause you’re red don’t mean you’re right
Just ‘cause you’re left don’t make you blue
Hold onto faith for me
And I’ll hold space for you
If kindness was contagious and no one could escape it
Hate would be a four-letter word nobody used
Different isn’t dangerous - hands are meant for shakin’
Hearts we’re made for making love - this I promise you
The world would be such a better place if
Kindness was contagious
