More - Russell Plunkett

More - Russell Plunkett

There is more to life - Than just a chance to live.
There is more to love - Than just a chance to give.
There is more to work - than just a chance to earn.
There is more to life - and life's your chance to learn.
From birth to death there is a need to grow.
To learn each day - something we did not know.
To think each night - when all the lights go low.
What did I do - where did I go - what did I sow.

Seed must be sown for a harvest to reap
Life's fields need tending - like a shepherd tends his sheep.
a careless day - a lesser time to know.
The fruits of life need more than chance to grow.

There is more to light - Than just the break of day.
Light is life - it should not waste away.
Sight - a gift - that in this light we see
The fruits of life - To be picked by you - by me.

Waste not the time that is your chance to taste
The joys of life the careless seem to waste.
Short lived - our turn to live this life at hand.
Think deep and make the world
Your Promised Land.
