Story Behind the Song
Treat others the way you'd also like to be treated. That's the main message in this song. It also describes the hypocrisy that's so widespread in this world, and the ease with which we lose our faith in the good and swap it for the bad.
Lyrics
V1
Sitting outside the door and waiting, but I don't know why,
For those things to change that make so many cry.
Take a look and if you see what I see
Maybe it's time to review every story,
Casually dismissed with a sigh.
V2
Many songs say the same as this one, yes it may be true,
Though it's never wrong to write a head song too.
So I'll go along and say it once more,
Let's try the opposite of hate and war law,
Don't you let old Lucifer through.
Bridge 1
There is too much underestimation, devastation,
Pushing those good hearts down, when you feel it, mm mmm,
It's easy for that negativity to turn you round.
V3
Sitting outside the church and thinking, wonder why we go,
Do we do the things he thought we ought to know.
Is it "God above we want to show it"
Or is it "Let the next door neighbour know it"
Tell me does it have to be so ?
Chorus
WHY DON'T WE..... MOVE ON ALONG AND TRY TO BE,
SOME MORE OF WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE,
ENLIGHTEN EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE; HELP YOUR SOUL TO BE FREE.
SOLO
Bridge 2
And it's hard to stop that inclination, bad temptation
To give up and be a swine, pretty tricky, mm mmm,
There's got to be a possibility to change your mind.
REPEAT CHORUS
Enlighten every day of your life, help your soul to be free.
