Lyrics sample

Why do we need to do as we’re told,

Whether we’re young or whether we’re old?

Whether we’re weak or if we’re strong,

We’ve got to be sure what’s right and wrong.

It helps us live together,

Helps us work it out.

Helps us find a way to live,

And that’s what we’re about.

It makes us think about it,

Helps us find a way.

Helps us all when things go wrong

To find the right words to say.
