An upbeat song with a positive message.
With so much negativity around us, I found inspiration in small acts of kindness.
IT DOESN’T COST A THING TO BE KIND
Debra Nihan
Chorus
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
So count to three and check yourself before you speak your mind
Is it helpful is it hurtful think about it first you’ll find
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
VERSE1
Give up your seat if someone needs it more
If you see a momma struggling
Turn around and hold the door
Let two items go before you when you’re in the Hy-Vee line
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
Chorus 2
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
So count to three and check yourself before you speak your mind
Is it helpful is it hurtful think about it first you’ll find
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
VERSE 2
Give a hug to someone feeling sad
If your friend gets that promotion
Let him know you’re really glad
Tell that kid who’s trying hard that’s great you’re doing fine
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
BRIDGE
A smile can go a long long way
To brighten up somebody’s day
You never know the difference you might make
A hopeful word a compliment
Worth more than any money spent
An effort you have made for others’ sake
VERSE 3
Help your neighbor shovel off their walk
Consider if it’s better just to listen and not talk
Give senior folk and shut-ins just a little of your time
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
Chorus 4
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
So count to three and check yourself before you speak your mind
Is it helpful is it hurtful think about it first you’ll find
It doesn’t cost a thing
No not a single thing
It doesn’t cost a thing to be kind
