When I was a child I learnt the rules
Of how to live my life
My worth was not money in the bank
But living without strife
Remember there are two sides to a coin
You may not be in the right
And if you are caught out telling lies
Well, the truth always comes to light
Do not take what is not yours
Give back to whom it belongs
Do you not know it takes real guts
To admit you are in the wrong
It used to be respectable to be polite
It was not being weak
Not to raise your hand in anger
And to turn the other cheek
This was not namby-pamby
I was not being square
It was just a way of living
When everybody cared.
