"Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart

You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you & me
You just wait & see...

Another day goes by
Still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart

If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you & me
You just wait & see...

I hope when you decide... to stay home.
Kindness will be your guide... to stay home.
Put a little love in your heart

#StayHome
