Lyrics
Yuh came inna color, bright pon di lane
When mi hand dem empty, yuh share out di grain
One small smile, and yuh make di room warm
Like a cup a hot tea in a cold ragamuffin storm
Yuh nuh ask too much, yuh just give what yuh have
Half a plate, extra chair, likkle bread fi di yute dem have
And mi start fi breathe again, start fi stand up straight
When kindness walk in, it mash up every weight
Oh, it move so easy, but it reach so far
Right through di cracks and di cut-up scar
It seh, "Hold on now, yuh nuh bruk yet"
Bare one good deed and mi cyaan forget
Kind hand, kind hand, lifting up mi load
Kind hand, kind hand, when di road get cold
Kind hand, kind hand, sharing out di fire
Kind hand, kind hand, tek mi higher
Kind hand, kind hand, steady through di rain
Kind hand, kind hand, easing all di strain
Kind hand, kind hand, when mi spirit bend
You give and give and give again
Mi did know hard life, same old struggle line
Rent due pon Friday, belly near the time
Bus fare short, light bill late, shoes split side
Still yuh show me how fi live with a clean heart inside
Yuh bring soup to di yard, yuh bring rice inna bag
Yuh bring laugh to di table when di whole place drag
And when mi proud too much, yuh never shame mi face
Just seh, "We rise together, step by step, place by place"
Oh, it move so steady, like a drumbeat call
Through every fall and every wall
It seh, "Mek yuh knees dem strong"
One helping hand can carry a song
Kind hand, kind hand, lifting up mi load
Kind hand, kind hand, when di road get cold
Kind hand, kind hand, sharing out di fire
Kind hand, kind hand, tek mi higher
Kind hand, kind hand, steady through di rain
Kind hand, kind hand, easing all di strain
Kind hand, kind hand, when mi spirit bend
You give and give and give again
When di cupboard bare, yuh still did share
When mi lose mi footing, yuh deh right deh
No big talk, just work
No brag, no show
Love inna action, dat a how yuh glow
Kind hand, kind hand, lifting up mi load
Kind hand, kind hand, when di road get cold
Kind hand, kind hand, sharing out di fire
Kind hand, kind hand, tek mi higher
Kind hand, kind hand, steady through di rain
Kind hand, kind hand, easing all di strain
Kind hand, kind hand, when mi spirit bend
You give and give and give again
Kind hand, kind hand, when the nights get long
Kind hand, kind hand, yuh keep mi strong
Kind hand, kind hand, from the trench to the bend
Kindness like yuh never end
