away...I live in loneliness throughout...The hours of the day...Because I add each one to all...The others who have gone...And who provided so much joy...To help me carry on...And then I realize more and more...How brief the time we live...And how important are the smile...And solace we can give...I see the sheer futility...Of predudice and wrath ...And why they reach a shallow goal...Who take the selfish path...There is no worldly rank so high...Or any wealth so great...That it can find a way to turn...The key to Heaven’s gate.
