Let's stand together and fight all that is wrong
because together we can help make changes that are lifelong

you don't have to be religious to be wise and kind
you just have to have respect for all mankind
start with your family may be your wife
and don't take for granted the gift ofย ย loved ones in your life
look all around you and see the lonely and the pain
then give of yourself with no thought for gain
can you spare a smile a touch a kind word said
a hand up a good meal a dollar or few
clean dry clothes and a nice warm bed
lest we ever have to walk in their shoes
I keep coming back to values tried-and-true
I'm starting to day can I count on you
your time and attention are needed not just for humans but all creation
let's get back to the basics of this nation
