If You’re asking my opinion, I’m just an ordinary man
God knows my intentions and he knows just where I stand
Right is right, and wrong is wrong, no matter what side you’re standing on
When I see the things that man can do it makes this poor heart break
I no longer believe the heart is inclined to Good
Only Wickedness the first impulse is almost always selfish and self-serving
That doesn’t mean we are without hope, it just means we need to be trained
Trained to be better, by others and ourselves
Rolling on, and rolling on it won’t be long till we’re gone, and turned to dust
So, try to do as much Good as you can
Strive to leave the world a better place than you found it
That’s all I can really ask for
A lie’s a lie, and Truth’s a truth
Something to think upon because it’s all up to me and you
Before we’re turned to dust
The only way the world changes is through our strife
Through our effort
We can rely on God but he uses us to change the world
To change hearts, to change minds
But we are not responsible for those changes He is
We struggle and strive to be better this is our fate
Rolling on, and rolling on turned to dust
