The Golden Rule

(chorus)

Why don’t you treat everybody way you want them to treat you

it really is an easy thing to do

One of the first lessons we were supposed to get

pretty obvious we haven’t learned it yet

First thing I learned just before I learned to hear

Some will never get it that’s my greatest fear

in that one phrase all the law exists

it’s something that mankind has likely missed

every teaching says it one way or another

first place I heard it was straight from my mother

most people think it’s really common sense

some weren’t taught or maybe they’re just dense
