I went down to the river

To see what I could find

I cried out, "This world is not for me

They don't appreciate my kind."

And the river called my name out,

"I'm afraid you must be wrong.

It's much too shallow here for suicide.

You had better move along."

And ...



Selfish love will just bring you pain

But selfless love is never in vain

Selfish love will just bring you pain

But selfless love is never in vain

It's never in vain



So I climbed up to the mountain

And I saw my purpose clear

I was just about to take the leap

When a voice rang in my ear

"I am just a little mole hill.

You made a mountain out of me.

No man is as blind as he

Who will refuse to see."

Because ...



I was standing in the city

In the dirty grey of dawn

And I looked up at the sky and cried,

"How can you let this go on?"

And a voice said, "I know things are tough,

But I'm doing all I can.

Just don't tell me how to do my job,

You just wouldn't understand."

Remember ...
