mans pain

all mans pain has been self made
for from the truth he once had strayed
and cut himself off from the source
that hold the stars and world on course

man himself sought his own power
tho he did not create one flower
still he thought he could do better
life's own plan is just a fetter

we now can see how man has done
the painful course his life has run
killing now fills every day
sickness is the price we pay

the source of life is still intact
tho it's the truth  -  while we just act
life and love can still be here
if truth itself we do not fear

our pride has led us to this pain
self-pity now our great refrain
anger fills the soul like lead
fears and dreams now fill our head

still in truth it's not too late
but to the truth we must relate
no more hiding from the light
so love again can make things right
