Love Thy Neighbour
Tobago and d'Lime Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will lend your brothers a helping hand
If this little problem you would understand
You will lend your brothers a helping hand
Whether you are wiping blue or black
Six feet of world is yours and that′s a fact
So whether you agree, or you shall disagree
Singing "life would be easy,
Time would be breezier, if, you love your neighbor"
We all know there is a [?]
Which arises from the presence of brotherly love
So if a choice of a heaven you wish to partake
This is an example you should try to emulate
Resist all temptation, restrain from strife
And try to live a normal and an upright life
And this too you must learn, make the best of what you earn
Strictly not to leave you brother's property alone
And life would be easier,
Time would be breezier, if, you love your neighbour
I can speak, with biblical veracity, love′s a passion that is [?] [?]
So we all should endevour, [?
] To walk the path of a virtue and humility
Lead [?]
So whatever we do we must keep in mind this view,
The other man is worth quite as much or more than you
Life would be easier,
Time would be breezier, if, you love your neighbour
