 Man made the buildings,

That reach for the sky.
    D            D/C#

And learned how to drive.

He's got no right at all,

'Cos we are all God's children.
         D      G
And he's got no right,
   A
To change us.

Oh, we gotta go back,

To the way the  good lord,

To see   with.

The saint and the sinner.
    D             D/C#
The wise man, the simpleton,

The loser and the winner.

The things we own.

 We are all God's children.

And he's got no right,

To change us.
