if you walking in a market place
don’t throw stones
even if you do, you just might hit
one of your own
life is not about your policies
all the time
so you better rearrange your philosophies
and be good to your fellow man
if you walking in a market place
don’t throw stones
even if you do, you just might hit
one of your own
life is not about your policies
all the time
so you better rearrange your philosophies
and be good to your fellow man
