From the album: Signposts – Along the Journey of Life
Lyrics
When I walk the streets of plenty and enjoy a life of ease,
I can shut out this world's worries and just do as I please.
With my jet-set life, I have no cares.
My income grows so fast.
I've leisured hours to while away.
Guess what more could I ask?
But if we share gladly of all we possess, care deeply for lands in distress, give freely to those who have less than either you or I.
Share gladly of all we possess
Care deeply for lands in distress
Give freely to those who have less
Yes, if we live simply, then others may simply live
When you walk the streets of poverty
Then life's a constant fight
You must live on any scraps you find
the streets your home by night it's so hard to keep your sense of worth with so few clothes to
wear in the slum of some big city where the future spells despair what if we share gladly of all we
we possess, care deeply for lands in distress, give freely to those who have less than either
you or I, share gladly of all we possess, care deeply for lands in distress, give freely
to those who have less, yes, if we live simply, then others may simply live, could we walk
If we walk the streets together, our hearts and skills combined, could we end or want forever your future matter like mine? And if once we turn our backs on greed, would there be hope again that everyone could have their needs and dignity regained?
Yes, if we
Share gladly of all we possess
Care deeply for lands in distress
Give freely to those who have less
Than either you or I
Share gladly of all we possess
Care deeply for lands in distress
Give freely to those who have less
Yes, yes, if we live simply, then others may simply live, then others may simply live.
