Be Kind to the Boy on the Road |
Who is that boy on the white winding highway? |
Why does he roam alone? |
Is he looking for life on that white winding highway? |
For his parents dealt him trouble at home |
You might think he’s wrong standing there on that highway |
O' what a foolish young lad! |
But you yourself might be standing on that highway |
If you’d had his troubles on your hands |
Don’t point your finger at that boy on the highway |
As you travel down this road! |
Either give him your help or pass him with kindness |
Cause he’s got all the trouble that he wants! |
Your policeman discourages that boy on the highway |
It’s heard everywhere that he goes! |
But the best way to help that boy on the highway |
Is to fix all your troubles there at home! |
I’ve heard it said 'bout rolling stone boys |
They gather no moss in their life? |
I’ll tell you the bee that gets the honey |
Ain’t the bee that hands around the hive |
Oh be kind to that boy on that white winding highway |
As you travel on there alone |
Remember the men that wrote your Bible |
Are the men who gave up their homes! |
