It's Just The Way – Bible study
Its just the way you look at things,
That makes them good or bad,
Its just the way you look at men,
That makes them sane or mad,
Lifes just the way you think it is,
It sings if you will sing.
The thing itself is nothing much.
The view is everything.
Its just the way you look at things,
And why not with a grin?
Its mostly just your own darn fault,
If time seems sometimes thin,
For never comes there trouble,
That can live with cheerful heart,
But once you start to think your stiff,
Its there the stiffness starts.
Its just the way you look at things,
That chap that you despise,
Because of something that hes done
Thats wicked in your eyes,
May think the same of you, you know,
For what you do not do,
And perhaps to other people,
Hes a better man than you.
Dont judge too quicklytry to judge
The others fellows side,
Too many as it is, there are,
Among the great one-eyed.
Its just the way you look at things,
That makes them wrong or right,
Its just the way you live your life,
That makes it dull or bright.
