Golden Rule
Why do people suffer for the cause of man’s ill will?
Why does one want to burn, to kill and to steal?
When as children we’re taught the good ole Golden Rule..
Man’s own greed and hunger, makes us all feel like the fool.
And I’d like to see a bit more love today,
For the old and the young to bow their head and pray.
Tell me what is it that man ought to do?
Love God and love man and obey the Golden Rule.
It seems that we’re drawn closer when something bad has come,
When something hits us close to home, the grieving has begun.
When the sadness is over, don’t go back to your old ways
Love your friends and family and live for a brand new day.
And show the world a bit more love today,
Take the hand of someone old and bow your head and pray.
Just do the thing that you and I should do…
Love God and love man and live the Golden Rule.
And if someone shows hatred to you, turn the other cheek,
Don’t let the anger deep inside him, make your soul grow weak…
Just show the man a lot of love today..
Take his hand and ask him, if he would care to pray..
Help him do the things he knows to do…
Love God and love man and obey the Golden Rule
Love God and Love Man and obey the Golden Rule.
