Garrington T. Jones - A Stranger Is A Friend You Haven't Yet Met Lyrics

A shredded rear tyre on a quiet country track
The night is approaching and there's no turning back
Then out of the half-light a Tradie drives by
He makes us road-ready and shouts a good-bye

Ella's children are sleeping, she's tired and she's spent
Sixty-five hours of nursing, but she can't pay the rent
A letter in the mailbox, she opens in dread
"Your home is secured", the thank-you note said

Take a good look around you at the start of the day
See the ordinary people with their ordinary ways
Don't be shy; show a kindness that they'll never forget
A stranger is a friend you haven't yet met

A morning of meetings, Stacey stands in a queue
Five minutes for lunch, she leaves; what else can she do?
But her food is delivered and all he will say
"Have your lunch; take a minute and have a good day"

Take a good look around when on a train or a bus
See the ordinary people, who don't want a fuss
Don't be shy; show a kindness that they'll never forget
A stranger is a friend you haven't yet met

And when you are sleepy at the end of your day
Think of the ordinary people and their ordinary ways
But the kindness you gave them, they will never forget
A stranger is a friend you haven't yet met
A stranger is a friend you haven't yet met
A stranger is a friend you haven't yet met
