Always Try To Be Good
It is ao easy to be good, if only we will try,
And everthing is brighter when
the sun is in the sky.
While evil draws the darkness and
the shadows that are long
And there is never happiness in doing what is wrong
It may provide some pleasure and
Some comfort here and there.
But it is bound to bring regret and possibly despair
For God decreed the goal of life
And how to play the game
and if we violate the rules,
We have to take the blame.
