They say he stopped a drinkin?, after meetin? with an angel

Lyrics
Random Act of Kindness
My daughter and I, were walkin? down ol? Franklin? street?
The smell of Pepper?s Pizza, floatin? on the breeze
She had a Ben and Jerry?s, firmly in one hand
Cherry Garcia smile, glowin? on her face
There?s nothin? like the love, given by a child CHORUS
Sets my world all aglow, to see Ellen smile
Layin? on the sidewalk, was dirty Dan the beggar man
Layin where he always did, holdin? out his hand
He looked me in the eye, said I?m hungry come on man
But I knew he was a drunken man, runnin? his little scam
As I stepped around him, I said man get a job
But Ellen stopped and stared at him, deep deep in thought
He turned his bleary eyes and glared back at her
She held out her ice cream, said here, have it mister
CHORUS
I looked at Dan layin? there, a tear come in his eye
He took the cone he mumbled thanks, he licked it with a sigh
A random act of kindness, a simple act of beauty
Friendship for a stranger, grace given bounty
I heard that dirty Dan, got a job as cleanup man
Livin? in the shelter, not under the freeway ramp
They say he stopped a drinkin?, after meetin? with an angel
I like to think that I?m the father of that angel
A random act of kindness, a simple act of beauty
Friendship for a stranger, amazing grace to see
CHORUS
A random act of kindness, a simple act of beauty
Friendship for a stranger, amazing grace to see
