Selfishness in Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw jeweled beams of sunlight Steal across a purple sky I knelt down to kiss a rosebud Oh, it made me wanna cry To think that I have been permitted To be a part of nature's plan Oh, there's nothing that stands out more Than the selfishness in man [Verse 2] Little children painting pictures Of all the birds and apple trees Oh, why can't the grownup people Have the faith of one of these? And to think these tiny fingers Might become a killer's hand Oh, there's nothing that stands out more Than the selfishness in man [Bridge] Why can't we see the folly And the uselessness of hate? Love could lead to understanding Maybe it's not too late [Verse 3] Then perhaps with His great wisdom We might learn to understand Then there'd be no shame or sorrow Or no selfishness in man Then there'd be no shame or sorrow Or no selfishness in man
