The Common Decency

May I submit for, for your consideration

A thought was born from, from desperation?

I mean, now all ya gotta do is take a minute to see,

The world we're living in's not trouble free

The common decency to do what you can

In some small way to help your fellow man

To try to make some sort of contribution

Not be part of the problem, but part of the solution

The common decency, now is that still in existence?

A little bit would go, would go a healthy distance

And head us all into the right direction,

Common decency could stand some further inspection

This thought is vague, I know

And I know the chances are

And I know that there's a chance

This thought might not get far

Just give the thought a shot

A shot will not lose sight

The world we're living in

won't lose it's troubles overnight

The common decency, just lend a hand

In some small way there's such a great demand

A great demand for any hand you can land

And one by one we watch the troubles end

The common decency, now is that still in existence?

A little bit would go, would go a healthy distance

And head us all into the right direction,

Common decency could stand some further inspection

The common decency to do what you can

In some small way to help your fellow man

Try to make some sort of contribution

Not be part of the problem but part of the solution

The common decency, now is that still in existence?

A little bit would go, would go a healthy distance

And head us all into the right direction,

Common decency could stand some further inspection
