My father gently held my hand
And softly said to me
Take a little time
To spread the word of love and peace
The hardest sighs will soften
The coldest lips will smile
With love around, you'll see a change
In just a little while
So, spread a little happiness each day
Smile to others as you pass their way
Take a look around you, see the trees
The sea, the sky so blue
See the mountains reaching far above
See a mother give a child her love
Open up your eyes and you will see
God's all around you
If you let Him, he will be your friend
Standing by you till the very end
He can make your blues all disappear
Help you fight the sadness and the tears
If you give Him half a chance, I know
He will help you through these times to show
That His love and strength will see you through
God's all around you
So, spread a little happiness each day
Smile to others as you pass their way
Take a look around you, see the trees
The sea, the sky so blue
See the mountains reaching far above
See a mother give a child her love
Open up your eyes and you will see
God's all around you
See the mountains reaching far above
See a mother give a child her love
Open up your eyes and you will see
God's all around you
Just open up your eyes and you will see
God's all around you
