Look At Ourselves
If we look in the mirror
What do we see
If we look behind us
Is it other than thee
If we do a wrong
Does it make it right
If we apologise
Does it change our sight
To all who have done wrong
Raise your hands
If not here
In other lands
There is many a crime
So hideous and wrong
But to do wrong once
We sing that same song
Its the level of wrong
That we distinguish to discuss
The misdemeanour
And the out and out cuss
Others will recover
A different path they will follow
Others will re-offend
It's their bitter pill, they will swallow
So there comes a time
To judge some less
Allow their reunion
Their second test
Jimmy Anderson
A young man at thirty one
Allow him this chance
His new life has began
Look back on this day
As we look at ourselves
How many off us, could have been
Left on a shelf
