[Verse 1]
I saw a little beam of sunlight
Steal across a purple sky
And bent down to kiss a rosebud
Oh, it made me wanna cry
To think that I have been permitted
To see a part of nature's plan
Oh, there's nothing that stands out more
Than the selfishness in man
[Verse 2]
Little children painting pictures
Of the birds and apple trees
Oh, why can't the grownup people
Have faith of one of these?
And to think those tiny fingers
Might become a killer's hand
Oh, there's nothing that stands out more
Than the selfishness in man
[Bridge]
Oh, why can't we see the folly
And the uselessness of hate?
Love could lead to understanding
Maybe it's not too late
[Verse 3]
Then perhaps through His great wisdom
We might learn to understand
Then there'd be no shame or sorrow
And no selfishness in man
