HIS OWN FREE WILL
Morris P. Rainville
You can lead him to whiskey, but you can't make him drink
He will do that, of his own free will.
You can preach against substance, but you can't make him think
He will do that, of his own free will.
He was given this body as a home for his soul
He can use it, abuse it, as well
Don't go preaching to him, all about bad and good
He will find that, of his own free will.
Music Break
If you care for your neighbor, don't be his judge
Let him choose of his own free will
Send him good vibrations, his mind can absorb
He will do that, of his own free will.
He was given this body as a home for his soul
He can use it, abuse it, as well
Don't go preaching to him, all about bad and good
He will find that, of his own free will.
Bridge...
He has a mind, liable for his actions
He will use that mind, for positive reactions.
1989, Rarerabit Music (socan)
