Read the full lyrics

If your brother needs a turn you can let him play
If your sister feels upset listen when she says
That something made her feel a little bit not right
You can be her calm and help her smile bright

Kind hands kind words and a kind heart too
Kindness is the seed that blooms deep in you
Be kind to others and kind to yourself
Kindness is the deepest and richest kind of wealth

If your puppy is sleeping let him dream so deep
If your kitten is hiding let her safely peek
If the bird is singing softly in the tree
We can watch and smile and let her safely be

Kind hands kind words and a kind heart too
Kindness is the seed that blooms deep in you
Be kind to others and kind to yourself
Kindness is the deepest and richest kind of wealth

If you see a flower let it stretch and grow
Touch it soft and gentle water deep and slow
Trees are wise and they feel too
They need kindness just like you
Leaves are not for pulling let them dance and sway
Trees give life with every breath be grateful every day

Kind hands kind words and a kind heart too
Kindness is the seed that blooms deep in you
Be kind to others and kind to yourself
Kindness is the deepest and richest kind of wealth

If you feel like crying that's okay to do
You can hold yourself my dear just as I hold you
Love yourself my precious there is no one quite like you
This love will keep you whole like nothing else can do

Kind hands kind words and a kind heart too
Kindness is the seed that blooms deep in you
Be kind to others and kind to yourself
Kindness is the deepest and richest kind of wealth

To your friends and family to the earth and sky
To the smallest creature let your kindness fly
From your heart it grows like roots beneath the ground
Quiet gentle endless where true love is found
