I like these words -- they seem to suggest action: If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you'd only tell him so. If a deed, however humble, helps you On your way to go, Seek the one whose hand has helped you. Seek him out and tell him so. If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.

Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of gets in the way and you're hit by the realization that you can't be you wanted to be, you just might have to settle for a little bit less.
