PEOPLE ARE FUNNY

PEOPLE ARE FUNNY IN SO MANY WAYS
THEY GO ON AND ON AND ON FOR DAYS.
"OH, I NEED THIS, OR I MUST HAVE THAT"
NOT REALLY THINKING WHAT OTHERS MIGHT LACK.

THINGS REALLY IMPORTANT, LIKE FOOD FOR THE SOUL
A WARM HAND, KIND HEART, SOME SOUP IN A BOWL
PEOPLE THAT NEED A WARM COAT ON THEIR ARMS,
SHOES ON THEIR FEET OR A SHELTER FROM HARM,

CHILDREN THAT ARE CRYING FOR LOVE EVERYDAY
MEN THAT ARE WORKING FOR SO LITTLE PAY.
WOMEN THAT NEED TO BE LOVED AND CHERISHED
IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE SOON, WE WILL ALL SURELY PERISH.

GOD'S NOT WITH US? DO WE WANT IT THAT WAY?
COME ON EVERYONE-YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.
SAY THAT YOU'LL BE THERE, NO MATTER THE PROBLEM,
TOGETHER, THOSE PROBLEMS, I'LL BET WE CAN SOLVE THEM.

YES, PEOPLE ARE FUNNY IN SO MANY WAYS,
THEY GO ON AND ON AND ON FOR DAYS.
ONLY THINKING OF OTHERS AND WHAT THEY CAN DO,
NEVER TIRING OR COMPLAINING UNTIL THEY ARE THROUGH.

HELPING OTHERS THROUGH LOVING AND GIVING AND SHARING
KNOWING WHAT'S NEEDED IS AN ABUNDANCE OF CARING.
GOD GIVE THEM HOPE AND STRENGTH IN ALL WAYS
SO THEY CAN GO ON AND ON FOR DAYS.
