Chorus: Kind word Lookin' for a kind word in a dark world under a mean spell The golden rule is you get what you give So I'll wish you well Make sure you have heard a kind word Kind word I know it isn't much but a blade of gra** can crack the pavement And if enough of us would go against the grain in time we'd be a green field dressed in God's own finest raiment soakin' up the sunshine and laughing in the rain (Chorus) I see the cardboard boxes, the fragile houses of the lost I see the endless line of crosses carved by hands of hate and war I see the broken children
fists of blinding rage have tossed us Can we start with just this little thing that may lead to something more? (Chorus) They say a single prayer can move a mountain and I know a little faith can turn the tide The need to love and to be loved can soon become a fountain that forms a river flowin' deep and wide What will it take to free us from distant hearts and downcast eyes To see the face of Jesus in a stranger on the street? Who will water seeds of Holiness In someone we've despised Will heaven tell ours were the words that washed His hands and feet? (Chorus)
