A LITTLE KINDNESS
by Mark Austin
Hiding in the midst
of our own decisions
When I look to a better day
I find it in the moment
A Little Kindness goes far beneath the surface
A Little Kindness goes far within the moment
A Little Kindness goes far beneath the surface
A Little Kindness goes far
But a fleeting shadow
a moment irreplaceable
Progress means now
it's the limitation of life
(CHORUS)
Love is the answer
it's not bound by time
in the moment of everyday
we choose to love or look away
