A BEAUTIFUL LIFE
William Golding
Each day I'll do
A golden deed
By helping those
Who are in need
My life on earth
Is but a span
And so I'll do
The best I can, the best I can
Life's evening sun
Is sinking low
A few more days
And I must go
To meet the deed
That I have done
Where there will be
No setting sun, no setting sun
To be a child
Of God each day
My life must shine
Along the way
I'll sing his praise
While the ages roll
And strive to help
Some troubled soul, some troubled soul
The only life
I will еndure
Is the one that's kind
And good and purе
And for God
I'll take my stand
Each day I'll lend
A helping hand, a helping hand
While going down
Life's weary road
I'll try to lift
Some traveler's load
I'll try to turn
The night to day
And flowers bloom
Along the way, along the way
