DIG A LITTLE
DEEPER
It is easy to think shallow As we watch the TV tube Deeply drinking of its nonsense Though all principles exclude
It takes no brain but sponge instead, Absorbing what you wish To fit your every fancy Though shallow as a dish.
Have you thought of digging deeper, In a mind that’s yours to keep For ever and for ever Where there’ll be no cause to weep?
Wisdom is a precious stone, Is found by digging down Into the precious mental cup Where jewels can be found.
It takes a lot of thinking In the quiet of the night, Where angels gently whisper I’ll help you get it right.
Just follow my instructions Don’t be afraid to think, God endowered you with wisdom From work you must not shrink.
Just dig a little deeper In the vessel of your mind. There’s love for everybody And compassion you will find.
There are also peace and justice Confidence and self-esteem, Grand jewels of all description Good health you can redeem.
So, dig a little deeper In the vessel of your mind. Be sure to do researching, There diamonds you will find.
