The Jew and the Samaritan

in a world of many nations,
may we learn to understand
that non can survive in isolation
but together we stand.
Ti's my ideal wish,
that a Jew and a Samaritan would eat,
from one dish.


in the world of so many races
black, coloured, and Indian spread in all places
may we never judge nor treat by appearance
but love and appreciate our difference.
ti's my ideal wish,
that colour would not distinguish.


in the world of riches and poverty,
let not the poor be treated like property
but treat them like one of you own
for they are hopeless alone.
ti's my ideal wish,
that the Jews and the Samaritans would eat,
from the same dish.
