They Will Only See Decay

It's not easy to live decent in society of today Some may look on you as soft touch and see you as easy prey Some may see you as 'meal ticket' and advantage of you take And say to themselves this one's easy as easy as a 'piece of cake'. It's not easy do the right thing if some say with you something wrong There's a few though not so many who see weakness in the strong They can't see the good in goodness their thoughts move in strangest way You show them a flowering garden they will only see decay. It's not easy be good person whilst others are doubting you You say there's a man of honour they will argue that's not true They will say he's feeling guilty for some wrong or some past sin With doubt's shadow always on you it is never easy win. You may give alms to the needy you may feed the hungry mouth But there's always some who search for weakness and they sow the seeds of doubt If you work for love of others and never think of your own gain They will think you are a bit soft and they will wonder are you sane? . You may give your time to others some may call you living saint But you'll find the few who doubt you and say you're not free of taint They can't see the good in goodness their thoughts move in strangest way You show them a flowering garden they will only see decay.
