《The Selfishness In Man》歌词

[00:00:00] The Selfishness In Man - Ricky Skaggs

[00:00:13] I saw a little beam of sunlight

[00:00:19] Steal across a purple sky

[00:00:24] And bend down to kiss a rosebud

[00:00:31] Oh it made me wanna cry

[00:00:37] To think that I had been permitted

[00:00:43] To see a part of nature's plan

[00:00:48] Oh there's nothing that stands out

[00:00:53] More than the selfishness in man

[00:01:01] Little children painting pictures

[00:01:07] Of the birds and apple trees

[00:01:12] Oh why can't the grown up people

[00:01:19] Have the faith of one of these

[00:01:25] And to think those tiny fingers

[00:01:31] Might become a killer's hand

[00:01:36] Oh there's nothing that stands out more

[00:01:43] Than the selfishness in man

[00:01:49] Why can't we see the folly

[00:01:55] And the uselessness of hate

[00:02:01] Love could lead to understanding

[00:02:07] Maybe it's not loo late

[00:02:13] Then perhaps in his great wisdom

[00:02:18] We might learn to understand

[00:02:24] Then there'd be no shame or sorrow

[00:02:31] And no selfishness in man

[00:03:01] Why can't we see the folly

[00:03:07] And the uselessness of hate

[00:03:13] Love could lead to understanding

[00:03:19] Maybe it's not loo late

[00:03:25] Then perhaps in his great wisdom

[00:03:30] We might learn to understanding

[00:03:36] Then there'd be no shame or sorrow

[00:03:43] And no selfishness in man
