Lyrics

      
Hey ho, here I go!
Born into love, don’t you know?
Mama held me, fed me tight,
Kept me warm all through the night.
Oh-oh, hey hey!
Nothing we do is done alone.
Oh-oh, ho ho!
Every seed is kindness sown.
Hey ho, kindness grows!
Through the hands of folks I’ll never know.
A little love in all we do,
Passed from me, passed to you!
Hey hey, what’s on my plate?
Bread so warm, it sure tastes great!
Baker kneads, the flour flows,
From the mill where the old wind blows.
The miller’s wheat, where did it grow?
Out in the fields where farmers sow.
Rain and sun, the seasons turn,
Every hand must take its turn!
Oh-oh, hey hey!
Nothing we do is done alone.
Oh-oh, ho ho!
Every seed is kindness sown.
Hey ho, kindness grows!
Through the hands of folks I’ll never know.
A little love in all we do,
Passed from me, passed to you!
Oh-oh, look around!
The clothes I wear, the shoes I pound,
A stitch, a seam, a steady hand,
A kindness passed across the land.
Hey ho, round we go!
Life’s a gift we’ll never own.
Take and give, pass it on,
Kindness sings in every song!
