Don't be quick to criticize,
For everyone has some kind of heartaches,
Their health, happiness, their family ties,
What is the cause of all the aches?


 
Where is the caring and the giving
That God gave us for living.
If He could give us His Son,
Why can't we give of our hearts to someone?


 
We need to stop and think,
Material possessions can be gone in a wink.
If we of ourselves have not given,
Then we have never experienced livin'


 
Open up your hear and mind
And give to all mankind.
Walk a mile in another's shoes.
Give of your heart, you will not lose.


 
Take someone's hand and listen for awhile.
Share with them, cry, laugh, and smile.
Have compassion for your fellowman,
Give to others all you can.


 
Go take someone by the hand
And walk a country mile.
Listen with all your heart,
CARE; and share with them a smile.
