Intro I saw a little beam of sunlight steal across a purple sky And bend down to kiss a rosebud, oh, it made me wanna cry To think that I had been per mitted to see a part of nature's plan Oh, there's nothin' that stands out more than the selfishness in man Little children paintin' pictures of the birds and apple trees Oh, why can't the grown up people have the faith of one of these And to think those tiny fingers might be come 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 hate Love could lead to under standing maybe it's not loo late Then per haps in His great wisdom we might learn to under stand Then there'd be no shame or sorrow and no selfishness in man. Instrumental Then per haps in his great wisdom we might learn to under stand Then there'd be no shame or sorrow and no selfishness in man
