V1

He was peeling an apple with a pocket knife

And eating it right off the blade

I knew I’d best pay close attention

To anything he might say

He was a quiet guy, most of time

When he was talking I was always listening

‘cos he’s been right every single time

With the advice that I’ve been given

Chorus:

It’s not so much about the law

As it is about the heart

And blindly seeking justice

Just divides us all apart.

It’s less about the destination

Than it is about the climb.

Faced with the choice to be right or kind

Choose kind and you’ll be right every time.

V2

Jumbled thoughts on a page in a notebook

Carefully coupled together.

His life preserved for me in a song

‘Cos he knew he wouldn’t live forever

He said dream big, but live in the moment

And make great memories

Love God and have faith in Jesus

And don’t forget to remember me

Chorus 2

Stay curious yet patient

Let your quest for knowledge always burn

Rise above the mediocrity

In the game of life you win or learn

Stay humble in the best of times

In the worst of times learn to forgive

Say I’m sorry, and love with all your might

Show compassion. Live and let live.

Bridge

When it comes to finding true love

Timing is everything

Weather the storms, dance in the rain

Throw your hat right into the ring.

There’s two sides to every story

Don’t be an over critical judge

The Good Lord will sort it all out

It never pays to hold a grudge.

Repeat Chorus 1

It’s not so much about the law

As it is about the heart

And blindly seeking justice

Just divides us all apart.

It’s less about the destination

Than it is about the climb.

Faced with the choice to be right or kind

Choose kind and you’ll be right every time.
