A Better Place For Us

I see a woman drop a twenty dollar bill, and I pick up and give it back
Thanks, she says with gratitude
At the open elevator I gesture and say, After you
I never honk my horn patiently, I'll wait
An old man comes in from the cold, and I get the door
Please sir, after you
Yes, I return everything that I borrow
Yes, I give to charity
Yes, I help out at the shelter

This world is a scary place for all of us
So let's make it nice and friendly
Be kind, be considerate
People are strangers until you get to know them
A good deed is its own reward
Yeah

It's raining so hard outside, and before you go I give you my favorite umbrella to keep you dry
Would you like to have a deep tissue massage, after your long day?
Tonight I'm cooking a healthy meal with lots of your favorite herbs and spices
This might seem old fashioned to you, but it's how I grew up and it's how I am
Yes, communication is essential for a good relationship
Yes, that tub's filled with hot water
Yes, I'm a good listener

This world is a scary place for all of us
So let's make it nice and friendly
Be kind, be considerate
People are strangers until you get to know them (Yeah)
A good deed is its own reward
Ah, a good deed

This world is a scary place for all of us
Don't be scared, Don't be scared
So let's make it (try to make it) nice and friendly
Nice and friendly
Be kind, be considerate
People are strangers until you get to know them
Who are they? Introduce yourself
A good deed is its own reward
Yeah

You and I can make this world a better place
Let's do it, let's start today
Be thoughtful, be generous, be nice
Yeah
Let's make this world a better place
Let's make this world a better place
Let's make this world a better place
Let's make it, make it, better, better
