作曲:Richard Rodgers
There are times I almost think
I am not sure of what I absolutely know
Very often find confusion
In conclusion I concluded long ago
In my head are many facts
That as a student I have studied to procure
In my head are many facts
Of which I wish I were more certain I was sure
But for instance shall I say to him of women
Shall I educate him on the ancient lines
Shall I tell the boy as far as he is able
To respect his wives and love his concubines
Shall I tell him every one is like the other
And the better one of two is really neither
If I tell him this I think he won't believe it
And I nearly think I don't believe it either
Shall I join with other nations in alliance
If allies are weak am I not best alone
If allies are strong with power to protect me might
They not protect me
Out of all I own
Is a danger to be trusting one
Another one will seldom one to do what other wishes
But unless someday somebody trusts somebody
There'll be nothing left on earth accepting fishes
There are times I almost think
Nobody's sure of what he absolutely know
Everybody find confusion
In conclusion he concluded long ago
And it puzzled me to learn
That though a man may be in doubt of what he know
Very quickly when he fight he'll fight to prove
That what he does not know is so
Ah
Sometimes I think that people going mad ah
Sometimes I think that people not so bad
But no matter what I think I must go on living life
As a leader of my kingdom I must go forth
Be father to my children and husband to each wife
Et cetera et cetera and so forth
If my lord in heaven buddha show the way
Every day I try to live another day
If my lord in heaven buddha show the way
Every day I do my best for one more day
But
