There was a man
Looked up to Heaven
And he said, “Lord, what good am I?
I feel so unimportant that it makes me want to cry.
What should I do, Lord? Please answer me.â€
The Lord said, “Sure son, I'll tell you what to be:
The best thing to be is a person.
Just a person who loves is fellow man.
The best thing to be is a person.
Just a person who does the best he can.â€
The Lord said, “You can be a big man,
And I can tell you where to start.
Just let the world around you
Know the love that's in your heart.â€
The Lord said softly, “Listen to me.
There's only one thing that I want you to be.
The one thing to be is a person.
Just a person who does the best he can.â€
