The Right and the Wrong.
I know what it is to be sorry,
And I know what it is to be glad;
I've been on the hill-tops of glory,
And I know what it is to be sad.
And I know what it is to be glad;
I've been on the hill-tops of glory,
And I know what it is to be sad.
I've been in the homes of the lowly,
In the rich have I roamed without care;
In places most sacred and holy,
And in dens where there's never a prayer.
In the rich have I roamed without care;
In places most sacred and holy,
And in dens where there's never a prayer.
And I know as I meet every human,
The difference we talk of is small,
'Twixt man, and 'twixt woman and woman,
Old Adam's the same in them all.
The difference we talk of is small,
'Twixt man, and 'twixt woman and woman,
Old Adam's the same in them all.
Money ofttimes makes distinction,
And culture and care greater still;
And pride, which will bear no extinction,
Endeavors to sugar the pill.
And culture and care greater still;
And pride, which will bear no extinction,
Endeavors to sugar the pill.
But the heart of each human beats ever
The same in the rich and the poor;
The weakly of intellect, the clever,
The good and the bad, I am sure.
The same in the rich and the poor;
The weakly of intellect, the clever,
The good and the bad, I am sure.
