I CAN REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN A PERSONS WORD WAS ALL YOU NEED
IT WASN’T FOR SHOW AND NOT FOR THEIR OWN GREED
FOR IF A NEIGHBOR NEEDED SOME HELP WITH THEIR CROPS
OR MAYBE HELPING TO FINISH PUTTING ON BOARDS ON A ROOF TOP
THEIR MIGHT BE A TIME WHEN THEY NEEDED FOOD FOR THE TABLE
BECAUSE OF A SICKNESS OR A INJURY HAS MADE THEM UNABLE
SO NOW WE WONDER WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY
FOR THEY THINK THAT EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS FOR THEIR OWN PLAY
TO MAKE A COMMITMENT THAT THEY WILL HELP IN NEED
BUT FIND A REASON NOT TO HELP BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN GREED
IT MIGHT BE A SMALL FINANCABLE HELP TO GET YOU THROUGH THE TIME
BUT WILL BYE CANDY,POP,BEER,OR CIGARETTE IN STEAD OF SPARING A DIME
WE EVEN FIND GROUPS OF PEOPLE THAT ASK FOR MONEY
AND DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVEN’T ENOUGH FOR A JAR OF HONEY
BUT IF YOU ASK THEM FOR A LITTLE HELP\IT’S LIKE YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM A HARD BELT
SO AS WE HAVE WATCH OVER THESE MANY YEARS
THAT A PERSON WORD IS LIKE A SMALL TEAR
ONCE IT HAS DRYED UP THEY WANT TO MAKE A SONG
FOR THEIR OWN GREED WHICH WE KNOW IS WRONG
SO MAYBE THIS WORLD COULD MAKE A CHANGE
IF THEY WOULD RELIZE EVERTHING IS NOT FOR THEIR OWN GAIN
