Happy Holidays From The Voo





SOME OF US



SOME OF US ARE TIRED
AND SOME OF US ARE OLD
SOME OF US ARE HEATED
AND SOME OF US ARE COLD

SOME OF US ARE DOWN AND OUT
AND SOME OF US ARE HIGH
SOME OF US WILL LIVE FOREVER
AND SOME OF US WILL DIE

SOME OF US ARE LONELY
AND SOME OF US ARE GLAD
SOME OF US ARE HAPPY CHILDREN
AND SOME OF US ARE MAD

SOME OF US ARE MARRIED
AND SOME OF US, ALONE
SOME OF US LIVE IN FINE HOUSES
AND SOME, WE HAVE NO HOME

SOME OF US ARE BUSY BEES
AND SOME OF US LOVE SLEEP
SOME OF US ARE SHALLOW PONDS
AND SOME OF US ARE DEEP

SOME OF US ARE MIGHTY MEN
AND SOME OF US ARE WIMPS
SOME OF US GIVE ALL WE'VE GOT
AND SOME OF US JUST SKIMP

SOME OF US GO HUNGRY
AND SOME, WE EAT TOO MUCH
SOME OF US TOUCH EVERYONE
AND SOME CRAVE NO ONE'S TOUCH

SOME OF US ARE PASSIONATE
AND SOME OF US ARE MEEK
SOME OF US ARE BOLD AS LIONS
AND SOME OF US ARE WEAK

SOME OF US ARE RICH IN GOLD
AND SOME OF US ARE POOR
SOME OF US ARE WELCOMED IN
AND SOME ARE SHOWN THE DOOR

SOME OF US ARE CELEBRITIES
AND SOME OF US SHUN FAME
SOME OF US ARE NEVER KNOWN
AND SOME ARE KNOWN BY NAME

SOME OF US ARE WRETCHED, WICKED
AND SOME OF US ARE KIND
SOME OF US ARE KNOWN FOR BODY
AND SOME OF US FOR MIND

SOME OF US ARE BLACK AND WHITE
AND SOME, YELLOW AND BROWN
SOME OF US FIT IN SQUARE PEGS
AND SOME OF US IN ROUND

SOME OF US LOVE JESUS
AND SOME OF US DON'T CARE
SOME OF US SEE HIS LIGHT SHINING
AND FOR SOME, THERE'S NOTHING THERE

SOME OF US ARE EVIL
AND SOME OF US ARE GOOD
SOME OF US HOARD ALL WE GET
AND SOME SHARE ALL OUR FOOD

SOME OF US WILL LOSE OUR WAY
AND SOME WILL FIND THE TRUTH
SOME OF US WILL BE BORN OLD
AND SOME WILL CONTINUE IN YOUTH

SOME OF US WILL REAP IN JOY
AND SOME WILL SOW IN TEARS
SOME OF US WILL HEROES BE
AND SOME WILL RUN FROM FEARS

SOME OF US WILL KNOW TRUE GLORY
AND SOME WILL THROW IT AWAY
SOME OF US WILL BE USHERED IN
AND SOME OF US WILL BE TURNED AWAY

SOME OF US OF THE RACE OF MEN
WILL LIVE OUR LIVES FOR GAIN
AND SOME OF US WILL SUFFER LACK
AND LIVE OUR LIVES IN PAIN

BUT ALL OF US ON PLANET EARTH
FROM ANCIENT DAYS TILL THEN
FROM BIRTH TO DEATH AND ALL BETWEEN
HAVE KNOWN THE TOUCH OF SIN

AND ALL OF US, FEMALE AND MALE
AND YOUNG AND OLD, ALIKE
AND JEW AND GREEK AND SLAVE AND FREE
AND SKIN OF BLACK AND WHITE

AND RICH AND POOR
AND COLD AND HOT
AND TIRED AND TOUGH AND HARD
WE, ALL OF US, THE MEEK AND MIGHTY

WE'RE ALL LOVED BY THE LORD.
