Lyrics

The ways of the Lord are straight and narrow

The ways of the Lord are morally upright and restrictive.

But the ways of the world are far and wide

The ways of the world are diverse and expansive.

In dispensation the right thing is so hard to do now

In the current era, doing the right thing is challenging.

While wickedness is all around

Evil and wrongdoing are prevalent in the surroundings.

So what's the use of all the fuss and fight

Questioning the point of conflicts and struggles.

What about the basic human rights

Emphasizing the importance of fundamental human rights.

There's enough for one and all

There is sufficient resources for everyone.

Living the ways of the Lord every day and night

Advocating for living in accordance with the Lord's principles day and night.

If we lived together this life would be much better

Suggesting that communal living would improve life.

If we loved one another we all could be so free

If love and unity were embraced, freedom could be achieved.

The life we live, the way we handle ourselves

Reflecting on the impact of our actions on our lives.

Remember Lucifer is around

Warning about the presence of negative influences, possibly referencing Lucifer.

So what's the use of all the fuss and fight

Questioning the purpose of conflicts and fights once again.

What about the basic human rights

Reiterating the importance of basic human rights.

That's enough for one and all

Stressing that there is enough for everyone.

Living the ways of the Lord every day and night

Encouraging a lifestyle aligned with the Lord's teachings consistently.
