Little Kindness Wagon Song 027
Song promise: Brandon and Austin show how noticing, choosing, and sharing one small task can move useful kindness from place to place.
The part everyone joins: “One small help can roll along.”
Lyrics
Brandon hears the willow branches
swish a bright and breezy beat.
Austin spots a fallen twig
resting near the walking feet.
One small help can roll along—
look, choose, do, then sing the song.
March or tap, quiet or strong;
one small help can roll along.
At the red barn gate they notice
one light basket by the side.
Brandon asks, “Shall we move it?”
Austin says, “Let’s lift both sides.”
One small help can roll along—
look, choose, do, then sing the song.
March or tap, quiet or strong;
one small help can roll along.
Golden sun patches make wagon wheels;
meadow grasses wave them through.
Make-believe wheels roll beside them,
carrying a helper tune.
At the garden row they lower
one light basket to the ground.
Brandon steadies; Austin guides it.
Both hear seeds make one soft sound.
One small help can roll along—
look, choose, do, then sing the song.
March or tap, quiet or strong;
one small help can roll along.

Notice one thing. Choose one action.

when we help in our own way.
