《The Selfishness in Man》歌词

[00:00:00] The Selfishness In Man - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)

[00:00:06] Written by：Leon Payne

[00:00:12] I saw a little

[00:00:15] Beam of sunlight

[00:00:18] Steal across a

[00:00:21] Purple sky

[00:00:24] And bend down

[00:00:27] To kiss a rosebud

[00:00:30] Oh it made me

[00:00:34] Wanna cry

[00:00:36] To think that I had

[00:00:39] Been permitted to see a part

[00:00:45] Of nature's plan

[00:00:48] Oh there's nothing

[00:00:51] That stands out more

[00:00:54] Than the selfishness

[00:00:57] In man

[00:01:00] Little children painting pictures of the birds and apple trees

[00:01:12] Oh why can't

[00:01:15] The grown up people

[00:01:18] Have the faith

[00:01:21] Of one of these

[00:01:24] And to think those tiny fingers might become a killer's hand

[00:01:36] Oh there's nothing

[00:01:38] That stands out more

[00:01:42] Than the selfishness

[00:01:45] In man

[00:01:48] Why can't we see the folly and the uselessness of hate

[00:02:00] Love could lead to understanding maybe it's not too late

[00:02:12] Then perhaps in his great wisdom

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

[00:02:23] Then there'd be no shame or sorrow and no selfishness

[00:02:32] In man
