The Selfishness In Man
Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

I saw a little beam of sunlight

Steal across a purple sky

And bent down to kiss a rose bud

Oh, it made me wanna cry


And to think that I've been permitted

To see a part of nature's plan

Oh, there's nothing that stands out more

Than the selfishness in man


Little children painting pictures

Of the blooms and apple trees

Oh, why can't the grown up people

Have faith of one thing?


And to think those tiny fingers

Might become a killer's hand

Oh, there's nothing that stands out more

Than the selfishness in man



Why can't we see the folly?

And the uselessness of pain

Love could lead to understanding

Maybe it's not too late


Then perhaps through His great wisdom

We might learn to understand

Then there'd be no shame or sorrow

And no selfishness in man


Then perhaps through His great wisdom

We might learn to understand

Then there'd be no shame or sorrow

And no selfishness in man
