I picked up the morning paper The headlines were no surprise A random act of senseless violence Was committed again last night It seems the whole world has gone crazy And something needs to be done So starting today, I'm gonna find a way I'm gonna repay someone With a random act of senseless kindness Unexpected hand to help remind us A little bit of love is the cure for hate It's easy to give up but it's never too late A single step in the right direction Person to person making a connection We can change the world that's become so violent With a random act of senseless kindness How I long to live the simple life When neighbors were still friends And the sidewalks leading downtown Were safe to walk back then The cla**rooms and the school yards Were havens for our kids Well, it's a long way back but we can get on track Today's a good day to begin With a random act of senseless kindness Unexpected hand to help remind us A little bit of love is the cure for hate It's easy to give up but it's never too late A single step in the right direction Person to person making a connection We can change the world that's become so violent With a random act of senseless kindness
