Album 42) Karma
Name of Song: Doing for the Greater Good
Long term living,
Survival at its best,
Doing for the Greater Good
Is the only test.
Dancing around those moral codes,
They change from life to life,
You don’t remember that far back
Different husband, different wife.
What about the laws they make,
Some appear quite sane,
Yet our ten commandments would suffice
instead of all that blame.
Chorus
Doing for the Greater Good,
A concept changed by those,
Who lead and hide in shadows,
Those people we never chose.
Doing for the Greater Good,
You’ve heard it many times,
By people so immoral
Only fighting for our minds.

Trying to do the greater good,
It takes a spiritual being,
Using their experience
and what they now are seeing.
Kindness is a virtue,
It cannot be enforced,
God reminds us who we are,
Those memories that feel source.

We wish we could remember,
All that truth we learned,
From all our past experience that
awakens as we yearn.
Remembering awakens,
But sometimes hard to feel,
Those numbing thoughts that haunt us all
can be our key to heal.
God helps those who helps themselves,
Remember that as you go,
He knows it can be difficult,
He knows it can be so.
