The Selfishness In Man Lyrics - Singles - Doyle Lawson And Quicksilver

I saw a little beam of sunlight 

Steal across a purple sky 

And bent down to kiss a rose bud 

Oh, it made me wanna cry 

And to think that I've been permitted 

To see a part of nature's plan 

Oh, there's nothing that stands out more 

Than the selfishness in man 

Little children painting pictures 

Of the blooms and apple trees 

Oh, why can't the grown up people 

Have faith of one thing? 

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 

Why can't we see the folly? 

And the uselessness of pain 

Love could lead to understanding 

Maybe it's not too late 

Then perhaps through His great wisdom 

We might learn to understand 

Then there'd be no shame or sorrow 

And no selfishness in man 

Then perhaps through His great wisdom 

We might learn to understand 

Then there'd be no shame or sorrow 

And no selfishness in man
