You know a smile never goes out of style So brighten up the one that you wear Let it shine and you just might find You'll lighten up the load that you bear You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world It seems like the least we can do Just take that smile into the street And share it with everybody you meet Everyday I wanna shake somebody's hand Everyday I wanna make somebody know that they can Everyday I wanna try to show my brothers and my sisters That I wanna help them along the way everyday, everyday You know a kind work never goes unheard But too often goes unsaid And on the tongue of the old and the young Gets swallowed up with pride instead You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world It seems like the least we can do Just take a kind word into the street And share it with everybody you meet And everyday I wanna shake somebody's hand Everyday I wanna make somebody know that they can Everyday I wanna try to show my brothers and my sisters That I wanna help them along the way everyday, everyday If they're lost I wanna show them the sunshine If they look tossed I wanna throw them a lifeline I wanna reach out my hand, oh yeah And let 'em know there's a light Down at the end of the road If they're lost I wanna show them the sunshine If they're tossed I wanna throw them a lifeline And everyday I wanna shake somebody's hand, oh Everyday I wanna make somebody know that they can Everyday I wanna try to show my brothers and my sisters That I wanna help them along the way everyday, everyday Everyday, everyday Everyday I wanna shake somebody's hand Everyday I wanna make somebody know that they can And everyday
