Lyrics

Think of your fellow manLend him a helping handPut a little love in your heart
You see it’s getting lateOh, please don’t hesitatePut a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better placeAnd the world will be a better placeFor you and meYou just wait and see
Another day goes byStill the children cryPut a little love in your heart
If you want the world to knowWe won’t let hatred growPut a little love in your heart
And the world (and the world)Will be a better placeAll the world (and the world)Will be a better placeFor you (for you)And me (and me)You just wait (just wait)And seeWait and see
Take a good look aroundAnd if you’re looking downPut a little love in your heart
I hope when you decideKindness will be your guidePut a little love in your heart
And the world (and the world)Will be a better placeAnd the world (and the world)Will be a better placeFor you (for you)And me (and me)You just wait (just wait)And see
