The actor and the bystander

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
On a busy street, an actor stood,
Dressed up fine, like a star he would.
Trying to learn, to play the part,
Of a homeless man, a role from the heart.

(Pre-Chorus)
A stranger saw, and stepped in near,
Wanting to help, make things clear.
But in his rush, oh what a sight,
Ink spilled black on the suit so bright.

(Chorus)
Oh, why meddle in another’s way?
Not every hand should guide the play.
For the Lord has called us each alone,
To mind our hearts and build our own.

(Verse 2)
The actor smiled, he did not scold,
Asked for the coat, the hat so bold.
Took the ink, and smeared it wide,
Showed what truth can’t hide inside.

(Pre-Chorus)
The bystander stood, his pride was gone,
His lesson learned, he’d been wrong.
For wisdom says, just walk in grace,
Not every fight is ours to chase.

(Chorus)
Oh, why meddle in another’s way?
Not every hand should guide the play.
For the Lord has called us each alone,
To mind our hearts and build our own.

(Bridge)
"Make it your goal to live in peace,"
"Work with your hands, let striving cease."
"Every man should test his deeds,"
"Not chase another’s wants or needs."


(Final Chorus)
Oh, why meddle in another’s way?
Not every hand should guide the play.
For the Lord has called us each alone,
To mind our hearts and build our own.

(Outro)
So step with care, and trust His plan,
Walk your path, be His man.
For wisdom grows when we let go,
And follow where His rivers flow.
