Sometimes in life we ought to think twice
About the people that we step on
'Cause they sure are worth while here on Earth
For soon the chance is gone.

Don't gossip about your neighbor
We gotta show more love
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above.

I gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above.

Life is but a vapor, it's here then it's gone
What we build in heaven will be there from now on
But things we gather here on Earth
Will soon decay and rust.

One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
Gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove.

One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above.
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above...
