Keep a Little Love

A wise woman told me honey don't be so afraid
You gotta take those lemons and make some lemonade
So I tried my best to follow her advice
But I'm still stuck without a pitcher
And I don't have any ice

So I went back and asked the woman about what I should do
When I'm trying to do things right but I don't have any clue
She gave these words to me and she said they were the truth
Then she sent me on my way to share them all with you

Be reckless with your kindness
Be open from the start
Greet each morning like the rising sun
And keep a little love in your heart

I walked into the woods to ask the birds if they agreed
With the wisdom that the woman had offered to me
The squirrels all laughed at me and the ravens flew away
But as I listened to a bluebird I thought I heard it say

Be reckless with your kindness
Be open from the start
Greet each morning like the rising sun
And keep a little love in your heart

So now I'm on my way to spread compassion where I go
To love the earth and love each other it's the only path I know
That's gonna build community and a world where we can be proud
To sing and dance together right out loud

And we'll be reckless with our kindness
Be open from the start
Greet each morning like the rising sun
And keep a little love in our hearts

Be reckless with your kindness
Be open from the start
Greet each morning like the birds in the rising sun
And keep a little love in your heart
