Story Behind The Song

Heard the phrase random act of violence on the news and thought this would be a good phrase if it was upbeat.

Song Description

Man goes around doing good deeds.

Lyrics

I stepped out into the world today
Just a man with a selfless mind
Then I caught the stench a homeless man
That the world has left behind
I asked him when his last meal was
He said, "Brother... it's been a long, long time"
I dropped a twenty in his pocket
And I thanked the Lord for my piece of mind

A random act of kindness
The kind that makes the world a better place
A random act of kindness
Can bring a smile on your face

Gave up my seat on a crowded bus
For a mother and her infant child
Opened a door for a wounded vet
Who'd been left out in the cold for a while
Rescued a dog from the county pound
And I took her by an old folk's home to make them smile
Painted the door of a synagogue
That some racist creep had defiled

A random act of kindness
The kind that makes the world a better place
A random act of kindness
Can bring a smile on your face

Everything you do or say
Are the footprints of the life you live
And the love that you take
Is equal to the love you give

A random act of kindness
The kind that makes the world a better place
A random act of kindness
Can bring a smile on your face
