Lyrics

Starting Right Now - Judy Daigle 8/27/13

Jon was on his way to work as he does each day.
Head down looking at his phone not looking any way
He passed an old man on a bench looking very worn
His hair was messed, his shoes were old, his jacket thin and torn.
What caught his eye he could not say but he looked at the man.
As others kept on rushing by he stopped to lend a hand.
No one else seemed to care but he knew what he could do.
He took off his brand new coat and said “here it’s for you”

Chorus:
Starting right now practice random acts of kindness
Starting right now we can make someone smile
Starting right now we can help someone who needs it
Small things can change the world and we can start right now


Susie saw what Jon had done and she knew what she would do.
Something good just like she did she even knew for whom.
Her neighbor down the hall sweet old Mrs Shea
Had trouble getting round these days since her son had moved away.
She knew that she could spare some time to spend with her each week.
Take her to the store, help her clean or just have some tea.
When she got home she knocked on her door and said “Mrs Shea”
“May I come in I’d like to spend some time with you today”

Chorus

It doesn’t take much at all to help your fellow man.
Could be as simple as a smile or reaching out your hand.
If each one of us did one small act each day
Love would spread around the world and hate would fade away.

Chorus 3X
