Words and Music by John W. Peterson
[Verse 1]
Sing a song (sing a song)
Spread some cheer (spread some cheer)
There are sad and lonely people everywhere
Be a friend (be a friend)
Show some love (show some love)
It will lift them from the dungeons of despair
[Chorus]
Show a little bit of love and kindness
Never go along with hatredâs blindness
Take a little time to reach for joy
And wear a happy face;
Sing a little bit when the days are dreary,
Give a little help to a friend whoâs weary â
Thatâs the way to make the world a happy place.
[Verse 2]
Offer help (offer help)
Bring some hope (bring some hope)
To the fainting and discouraged on lifeâs road
See a need (see a need)
Lend a hand (lend a hand)
There are many who are crushed beneath their load
[Chorus]
Show a little bit of love and kindness
Never go along with hatredâs blindness
Take a little time to reach for joy
And wear a happy face;
Sing a little bit when the days are dreary,
Give a little help to a friend whoâs weary â
Thatâs the way to make the world a happy place.
[Verse 3]
Be a light (be a light)
Show the way (show the way)
Be a light within the night for those astray
Speak a word (speak a word)
Loving word (loving word)
That will bring them back to walk the narrow way.
[Chorus]
Show a little bit of love and kindness
Never go along with hatredâs blindness
Take a little time to reach for joy
And wear a happy face;
Sing a little bit when the days are dreary,
Give a little help to a friend whoâs weary â
Thatâs the way to make the world a happy place.
Thatâs the way to make the world a happy place.
