From the album: Water For A Thirsty Land (LP)
Lyrics
Are people a problem or an answer?
ls a child a headache or a hope?
ls an empty mouth a load on man
Or does it give our greatness scope?
Are they a problem—or an answer?
ls a child a headache or a hope?
Will our lusts design our future
Or could we give the world a new goal?
Could hearts, heads, hands in plenty
Unite to restore our soul?
Are they a problem—or an answer?
ls a child a headache or a hope?
Could the masses of men and women
Be the jewels in a country's crown?
Could God control the stormiest will,
Could we choose His love, not His frown?
Could the masses of men and women
Be the jewels in a country's crown?
Then the workless would be workers,
The callous become men who care,—
A passion for souls would lift each heart,
The selfish decide to share.
For God doesn't limit His children,
There isn't enough for our greed,
But with giving men and heavenly plan
There is enough for every man's need,
Enough for every man's need,
Enough who care.
Then the old and young together would build
A world for every man to share.
