( Sung to the tune of "Oh, Master, Let Me Walk With Thee" )
NO MASTERS AND NO GODS FOR ME
No masters and no gods for me,
No promise of eternity.
With that in mind, I make just one vow,
To do my best---right here, right now.
This world is all we have, you see.
There is no immortality.
No golden place up in the sky,
So Live, before life passes you by.
"Do Unto Others"...this is true...
"As you would have them do unto you"
One word of kindness goes a long way,
Make someone else feel special today.
Smile at the stranger on the street,
Nourish the needs of those that you meet.
Dare to reach out; extend your hand
To one and all--your fellow man.
Give of yourself, unselfishly;
Be every hour the best you can be.
Show love to all, and when life is done
You'll know your mem'ry lives in someone.
No masters and no gods for me,
No promise of eternity.
With that in mind, I make just one vow,
To do my best---right here, right now.
