Mom Taught Me to be kind

I said hello to an old man passing by,

He smiled so wide, a tear came to his eye.

He didn't look lonely anymore that day,

Just a little kindness goes a long, long way.

A lady with her cart was struggling hard,

I helped her push it all the way to the yard.

I unloaded every bag right into her car,

Mom taught me to be kind right from the start.

(Chorus)

Mom taught me to be kind, whenever I can,

To lend a helping hand to a woman or a man.

She showed me with her heart what love looks like in life,

Mom taught me to be kind and it feels so right.

A mom with her newborn was struggling along,

I held her sweet baby while she carried on.

She juggled three kids and was having a hard time,

Mom taught me to look for ways to be kind.

A man was asking strangers for a dime,

I gave him five whole dollars, it took no time.

He only needed something just to get him through,

Mom taught me to be kind, it's what you do

(Chorus)

Mom taught me to be kind, whenever I can,

To lend a helping hand to a woman or a man.

She showed me with her heart what love looks like in life,

Mom taught me to be kind and it feels so right.

Mom taught me to be kind, whenever I can,

To lend a helping hand to a woman or a man.

She showed me with her heart what love looks like in life,

Mom taught me to be kind and it feels so right.

She never had to say it twice,

I live the way she lived her life.

Every act of love she passed on to me,

Now I pay it forward for the world to see.

(Bridge)

Mom taught me to be kind whenever I can,

Just reach out and help, whether woman or man.

She showed me with her heart what love's all about,

Through the good days and the hard ones, she never gave out.

She'd say look around you, somebody needs a hand,

A little bit of kindness, that was always her plan.

Mom taught me to be kind and it just feels so right,

She took away the dark with her love and with her light.

(Chorus)

Mom taught me to be kind, whenever I can,

To lend a helping hand to a woman or a man.

She showed me with her heart what love looks like in life,

Mom taught me to be kind and it feels so right.

(Chorus)

Mom taught me to be kind, whenever I can,

To lend a helping hand to a woman or a man.

She showed me with her heart what love looks like in life,

Mom taught me to be kind and it feels so right.
