Code Of Ethics Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

There's an infinity of ways 

And just as many people striving for them, oh 

Who's to say what is wrong or right 

Only we can judge what lies within us 

It's our code of life 

So much is counting on what we say 

So many virtues that we must weigh 

Where's the light we long for 

love must find a way 

And all things in their time will follow, oh.... 

It's like a wave of honor in motion, 

floating away, 

It's like an overwhelming emotion, 

one and the same 

If we take the time to find it 

We can help define a way 

uncharted 

Code of ethics, feel it 

Stand, be counted 

Life is only what we make it 

So don't fake it 

Just make it right 

Like a visionary's dream 

There's a cry for truth we need to know 

Is it life or a novel's theme 

Underlying codes we'd live or die for 

It's a mystery 

Violence is growing, it's in the air 

People are starving while others stare 

Where's the light we long for? 

Love must find a way 

And all things in their time will follow - oh 

If we take the time to find it 

We can help define a way 

uncharted 

Code of ethics, feel it 

Stand, be counted 

Life is only what we make it 

So don't fake it 

Just make it right 

Code of ethics, live it 

Stand, be counted 

Life is only what we make it 

So don't fake it 

Just make it right
