about

I wrote this for my friend Chuck McDowell before he passed from cancer.

lyrics

I once asked a friend of mine how he could stay so calm
In the face of another’s anger he replied with his usual charm
He said: “I’m not here to judge another, to shame them or to be cruel
You see when I was just a child, I was taught the fruits of the golden rule”

You do unto others as you’d have them do unto you
It may sound old fashioned, but it always rings true
Open your heart, and let go of the rest
All you have to do is try, love says it best

A man of Faith like no other man I’ve ever known
With an unshakable knowing that we’re never alone
And the lessons that he taught me are still trying hard to break through
I still struggle with the notion I could have that same Faith too

And do unto others as you’d have them do unto you
It may sound old fashioned, but it’ll always ring true
Open your heart, and let go of the rest
All you have to do is try, love says it best
Love says it best, love says it best, love says it best

Bridge:
When a harsh word is spoken, a promise is broken
You begin to wonder what’s the use
That’s when these words ring loud and true

Love one another, we’re all sisters and brothers
We’re here to help each other, that’s what we’re meant to do
Open your heart, and let go of the rest
All you have to do is try, love says it best
All you have to do is try, love says it best
Love says it best, love says it best love says it best
