My parents really love me, I know that this is right;
So when they say do this, do that, I should do it without a fight.
Sometimes I may not listen, I may think it's unfair;
But what I must try to understand is, they do it because they care.
We shall give to all we meet Loving Kindness,
Helping in the hour of need bringing light, peace and joy.
We are brothers, sisters all in loving kindness,
Sharing with our fellow men, we are one small world.
I am the way I am,
And I'm very happy with that.
I may be short or I may be tall,
My body may be thin or fat.
But it really doesn't matter at all,
Because I am the way I am,
And I'm very happy with that.
There is something deep inside of me,
That makes me want to know.
It's waiting there quite silently so one day I may grow.
It is the lamp of wisdom,
That's pure and shining bright,
That takes away the darkness,
Filling everything with light.
IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED CHORUS:
If at first you don't succeed,
Try try, try again
Don't give up, don't despair,
In the end you'll win you'll win, in the end you'll win.
This world has many challenges
To meet them you need pluck.
You have to try so very hard,
You can't rely on luck.
So put your best foot forward,
And in your heart have faith,
That you can overcome each test,
And then you'll win the race.
I have a light inside of me, to guard me all the time.
But there's also something dark in there, ready to pull me down.
Once the light is shining, darkness will disappear;
And our life is filled with happiness, peace, love and good cheer.
I will love and respect my mother,
I will listen to my father's words,
For I know in this world there's no other,
Who will love me with a love so true.
I will always be kind to my mother,
And live up to my father's words,
For I know in this world there's no other,
Who will love me with a love so true.
Let the lamp within my heart be bright and shining,
So the light shines throughout the universe,
Spreading rays of love and peace and understanding,
That will help unite the brotherhood of man.
I am in the light, the light is in me, I am the light. (x2)
Let these eyes see the good in those around me,
And these ears listen only to what is true.
May this tongue of mine speak in moderation,
Words of wisdom that are full of sweetness too.
I am in the light, the light is in me, I am the light. (x2)
These two hands of mine must strive to serve my brothers,
And these feet should help me do what is right.
With a heart full of love and compassion,
See the world and all its beings bathed in light.
I am in the light, the light is in me, I am the light. (x2)
Give a little bit of love every day,
Then the sun will come your way.
If we learn how to give,
This is how we should live,
Give a little bit of love every day.
Give a little bit of kindness every day,
Then a smile will come your way.
If we learn how to give, this is how we should live.
Give a little bit of kindness every day.
I will keep my word every day (x3)
Oh yes, every day.
You can count on me all the time (x3)
Oh yes, all the time.
I'll not let you down anyway (x3)
Oh no, not any way.
Take a lesson from the sun that shines his light on everyone,
Or the rain that falls on every single shore.
No distinction of our race or the colour of our face,
Nature's gifts are there for all men rich or poor.
CHORUS:
Love all, serve all,
Understand that love and peace is what we need,
Love all, serve all,
In every single thought, word and deed.
Bear all and do nothing, hear all and say nothing,
Give all and take nothing in return.
Love is giving and forgiving, self is getting and forgetting,
Serve all in the spirit of pure love.
CHORUS:
Love all, serve all,
Understand that love and peace is what we need,
Love all, serve all,
In every single thought, word and deed.
If we can work together, in peace and harmony,
If we can work together, the I and you are We.
If we can work together, in peace and harmony (yes)
If we can work together, how happy we will be.
Think good, speak good, do good,
This should be our creed.
Serving others as we should,
In thought, word, and deed.
Life is not so easy,
But if we're to be free;
We must create unity, between the following three.
Think good, speak good, do good,
This should be our creed.
Serving others as we should,
In thought, word, and deed.
You may be rich and wealthy.
Your coffers may be filled with gold,
But unless your heart is filled with kindness,
You'll be lonely when you grow old.
You may not have much money,
Your cupboards may be rather bare;
But if your heart is filled with kindness,
You'll be happy beyond compare.
For us to live together, in Peace and Harmony,
We must care for things around us even if they're free.
Let us be very gentle, treat everything with care,
No matter what the value is, it’s there for us to share.
