Gray little morning, the café's packed tight, A worker's running late, with no time for a bite. Somebody ahead taps the counter, polite, "That one's covered," and slips out of sight. And you wonder what one person can do In a world this big, with so much to get through? You can't fix it all, but here's what's true: You can't save the world, but a little goes a long way, And the little things carry the day! (hey!) A kind word, a hello, a little given away, Can be everything to somebody today. A customer buys one cupcake with sad, tired eyes, The worker looks up and gently asks why. "It's my birthday," they say, "and nobody knew," with a sigh, The worker leaves a note in the bag; they read "Happy birthday!" and almost cry. Two a.m., a stranger's up, holding a phone, A sad post says, "I feel so alone." They know that feeling, they've felt it, they've known, So they write, "It gets lighter. I'm here. You're not on your own." Three strangers, one day, and none of them know That a little kindness makes the whole river flow, A raindrop, a snowflake, they start small, then grow, Be the spark that helps someone else's heart glow. So keep on giving a little away, and light someone's way.
