Matthew Brannelly - Many Paths of Charity lyrics

Who can tell? Who can tell? Like ripples in a pond, how far a pebble of good intent impacts the world beyond? Beyond the office; outside of home, removed from goals of self: Amazing things can happen, with but a token of your wealth. A wide catalog of causes aims at the sick and poor, inspiring workers by the thousands to push aid to millions more. Oh, pick a love. Please choose to care; there exists an issue for you! There are humanitarian subjects, trees, and needy animals too. There are fire departments and scouting, and life-skill development. Select 'drug rehab' or 'sheltered haven', or whatever makes you content. Be an everyday hero for a buck or a bundle, Choose a myriad choice of cause. There’re some starving kids on this dark, wide Earth, who are hoping that you won’t pause. Perhaps you say you give someplace else, or you volunteer at your church. Or: “Charity begins at home!” and you’re sitting pretty on your perch. Well, friends, decisions rest between your ears, but consequences flap like a flag unfurled; in your heart, in your times, and your children’s too, proclaiming your vision of a bright new world.
