A LITTLE ACT OF KINDNESS

A little act of kindness can go a long way.
But if you never reached out, you will never be able to see.
How a little act of kindness can go a long way.
It’s not always about money, sometimes it’s just a helping hand.
When you see a blind man standing on the corner, he will understand,
If you just ask him if he needs a helping hand.
It’s not always about money, you should understand.
A sandwich, a candy bar, placed in someone’s hand.
It doesn’t matter how old or where they’ve been.
Everybody needs a friend, to let them know they haven’t been forgotten,
And this is not the end, and today starts a new beginning.
And tomorrow when I see you, I’ll say good morning, and have a good day.
If there’s anything I can do to help you? Then I’ll be on my way.
Because a little act of kindness can go a long way.

DON’T GET IT TWISTED

Life can be sweet; life can be insane.
But Mama used to say, don’t never hook up with, a “Gambling Man.”
Because he’ll tell you that he loves you, he’ll tell you that he cares.
When you look around, he’s nowhere to be found.
Because he marches to a different drummer, he marches to a different plan.
Because he follows the games, everywhere.
The next thing you know, you’re in love with, a “Gambling Man.”
So, just look around, and you will see.
There is no future with loving, a “Gambling Man.”
He’ll leave you in a minute, he’ll leave you at the sound – of the dice rolling, cards shuffling, roulette wheel spinning, slot machines ringing.
He loves that crazy sound, cuz he’s, a “Gambling Man.”
So, don’t get it twisted, and you will see, there is no future in loving – a “Gambling Man.”
