The Way
All I ever wanted was to hang around.
I get bored going from town to town.
I’ll just try to make some friends.
If I stay at all, it just depends.
I gotta find somebody that understands.
Someone who will listen to my plans.
I’ve been called kind of wild.
Crazy ideas that come from a child.
All my plans and schemes are simple.
People, come together in love.
Love one another like kin folk.
Love can lead to world peace.
It is the greatest gift received.
If you love and never cease.
Your heart will swell tenfold.
Everywhere I go I spread this news.
All I get in return is taunts and boos.
Does no one believe in love today?
Other than the backseat, front page way?
I mean agape love. That comes from above.
It is the only kind of real love.
If I had a friend to spread the Word.
Soon, it would be all that would be heard.
All my plans and schemes are simple.
People, come together in love.
Love one another like kin folk.
Love can lead to world peace.
It is the greatest gift received.
If you love and never cease.
Your heart will swell tenfold.
Then I realized I have a friend.
One who is with me till the end.
He will help me spread the Word.
Soon, all will have seen and heard.
For my friend will talk thru me.
It will be quite a sight to see.
Hundreds converted in a day.
Praise the Lord, I’ve found The Way.———-R. W. Johnson—-(2012)
