Do me a favour

Can you do me a favour?

All of you? Any of you?

I ask for one thing, and one thing only

Cause I only want one thing

For anyone and everyone to be

~

Be one of those people

Who feel like a peaceful road trip

Or a blanket on a rainy day

Or a book, with a warm coffee mug

Or a blazing fire against a sky of grey

~

Be one of those people

Who say a kind word here

Do a good deed there

Be one of those people

Who help, who notice, who care

~

That’s all I ask of you

That you be one of those people

And not one of the other kind

Who are cruel, vile, violent, vicious

For that’s the one kind, I never want to find

~

For those people have hurt us

Hurt us, hurt us, hurt us

So bad that some aren’t here today

But the others have healed us

So that for the first time, we have a way

~

So be a road trip, a blanket

A book, be a blazing fire

Give us a way to find

What we desire
