Only so many seconds, really not long
To fulfill your destiny, to show you are strong
MJ started the message of giving
Continue his message while you are still living
Do it just once and you’ll feel such joy
Witness the smiling faces from each girl and boy

Why does God make us witness these violations?
To the people and animals of all nations
To test each person, to see what’s in their heart
Are you up to the challenge? Or will your soul part
Because greed is your choice and you don’t give a damn
You get what you can, to hell with your fellow man

Each day make a sacrifice to better a life
One who’s down on his luck, but not without fight
The pride he sacrifices each day to beg
God know he doesn’t want to, but he’s on his last leg
The good that you do will be repaid ten-fold
A feeling much brighter then any diamonds or gold

Your legacy, what will it be. One of giving and love for another?
Or one that is selfish and doesn’t want to be bothered
Karma is real and it does come back around
Sometimes it creeps up without making a sound
Look in your heart and give what you can
Together we can get there, which was always his plan
