It’s a sure fire way

To go straight to Hell

Treat the world wrong

Instead of treating it well

*

Maybe you have to wait

until the tolling bell

That rings when you are dying

Or when you come

out of your shell

*

If it’s known

we can tell

Help to make life

feel more swell

Or you are going down to Hell

**

It’s a sure fire way

To really hurt yourself

Treat the world wrong

Instead of treating it well

*

Maybe you couldn’t wait

And accidentally fell

When you suddenly

stopped trying

Or you were cast under a spell

*

We should not have to yell

It should not be

hard to sell

Don’t hurt others

And don’t hurt yourself

**

We are on the line

All the time

Try to make life feel more fine

*

Is that asking too much?

Are my ideals too high?

I hardly even have to try

And I can create a better day

Why the Hell

would you ask why?

It feels better for me

It feels better for others

There’s no better reason

To go all the way

**

It’s a sure fire way

To be much more help

Make the world strong

By treating more of it well

*

Maybe you won’t wait

Only time will tell

With care you could be flying

Bringing calm to

Storms you quell

*

Sometimes it feels like Hell

That’s why we work

To make it well

Being open to the world

Brings more help
