Anything Goes

There is a song that I like a lot. It is a very sad song and every time I hear it, it makes me cry just a little. I like it though, because it has a lot or meaning and it makes you think. The song is; "Anything Goes" by Gary Morris. It goes like this: There's a man on the street with a gun in his hand And his back against the wall He's got kids to feed He doesn't know if he'll be able to steal at all Tomorrow he'll be front page news You'll see it on TV How a father of five was killed last night Attempted robbery Anything goes When everythings gone When you lose all hope There ain't no right or wrong You can reach out But you can't hold on Anything goes When everythings gone There's a lady I know who sells herself At the Paradise Cafe As a girl they called her Angel But Angel drifted away Somewhere in time She crossed the line Where feelings are all gone For a price she'll warm a stranger's bed With a heart that's cold as stone She cries Anything goes 'Cause everythings gone When you lose all hope There ain't no right or wrong You can reach out But you can't hold on Anything goes When everythings gone There's a world outside That seldom sleeps It's unknown to us all Well they got guns And we got guns Who'll be the first to draw Up on high the powers lie The numbers are so small With one mistake all the dams will break And then God help us all Anything goes When everythings gone When you lose all hope There ain't no right or wrong You can reach out But you can't hold on Anything goes When everythings gone......... It's the Christmas season and many people are reaching out to others in their time of need, in spirit of the season....but what about the rest of the year? What are you doing to reach out to those who need it? How much better would this world be if we all reached out a little more and showed a little more caring and compassion for our fellow man?
