Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
There are rules we all obey When a game we play. There are laws we know are true: “One and one are two.” There are truths all around us We can all behold: Flowers need sunshine, streams run downhill. Fire’s hot, ice is cold. There’s another law as important to obey As the truths we see or games that we play It’s the Golden Rule “You should always do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.”
