Song language: English
The Selfishness in Man |
| I saw a little beam of sunlight |
| Steal across a purple sky |
| And bent down to kiss a rose bud |
| Oh, it made me wanna cry |
| And to think that I’ve been permitted |
| To see a part of nature’s plan |
| Oh, there’s nothing that stands out more |
| Than the selfishness in man |
| Little children painting pictures |
| Of the blooms and apple trees |
| Oh, why can’t the grown up people |
| Have faith of one thing? |
| And to think those tiny fingers |
| Might become a killer’s hand |
| Oh, there’s nothing that stands out more |
| Than the selfishness in man |
| Why can’t we see the folly? |
| And the uselessness of pain |
| Love could lead to understanding |
| Maybe it’s not too late |
| Then perhaps through His great wisdom |
| We might learn to understand |
| Then there’d be no shame or sorrow |
| And no selfishness in man |
| Then perhaps through His great wisdom |
| We might learn to understand |
| Then there’d be no shame or sorrow |
| And no selfishness in man |
