Man of Action

Everything was easy and the good guy was me Chasing bad guys through the cobbled streets of Galilee The wine was sweet joy, the mad loving intense Lead bullets were flying, lives lost makes no sense I’m a man of action with a mission as you will see I then gather myself in, a two bit actor, an old re-run movie I help the hungry to eat, each and every day I teach the lonely and sad, a much better way I fueled the aircraft that swept poor refuges away I tell the politicians my vote they will not ever sway Just when it appears wrongs are righted, everything’s groovy I see all the desolation, no relief, it’s just an old re-run movie A Christian once told me the secret for life’s happiness Was love your brothers and sisters, easy as yourself Live a life of wholesome goodness and never ever strife Put others before yourself and give thanks to God for life For your sole purpose on earth was passing kind unbound love Giving all the glory and thanks to our forgiving Lord above Make each day honest with purpose, believe and be free You’ll not be just another actor, in an old re-run movie
