Songs that Build Character & Values.

Chorus:
Open that door, swing it out wide
Helping another can make us feel good…inside
Put a bright smile, right on your face
These little things make the world a…..better place
While Mommy makes dinner, the table I’ll set
When dinner is over, I will not forget
To gather the dishes, step up to the sink
Scrape, rinse and stack them, quick as a wink
Chorus
Offer to take your dog out for a walk
Go get the leash, don’t just stand there and talk
Carry the groceries in from the car
You can be helpful, wherever you are
Chorus
Take time to notice a stranger or friend
You never know, somewhere ‘round the bend
Trouble could find you and you’ll need help too
One of these people is sure to come through
Bridge:
We’re in this together, let’s all lend a hand,
So reach out to others and help our….fellow man!
