To people all around us,
|
1 |
|
Who are part of one great throng;
|
2 |
|
In a world of sin and sorrows,
|
3 |
|
And are void of joy and song,
|
4 |
|
Does it seem life has no meaning,
|
5 |
|
And the road is rough and hard?
|
6 |
|
Can't you see true riches gleaming,
|
7 |
|
Or the final great reward?
|
8 |
|
Would you change your situation
|
9 |
|
As a great success prelude?
|
10 |
|
Do not change your place or station,
|
11 |
|
Just your gloomy attitude.
|
12 |
|
There are people with riches plenty,
|
13 |
|
And unhappy as can be.
|
14 |
|
There are others who are happy,
|
15 |
|
While they live in poverty.
|
16 |
|
Would you know the joy of living,
|
17 |
|
As you go from day to day?
|
18 |
|
You could try the art of giving
|
19 |
|
To the poor along life's way.
|
20 |
|
If you have no goods to offer,
|
21 |
|
And your earthly store is low,
|
22 |
|
You can visit those who suffer,
|
23 |
|
And spread sunshine here below.
