Show t r ii i ft fJ r duration Noten By Dr Wayne Waye Reid Superintendent Up or Down I watched them tearing a building down A gang of men in a busy town With a ho heave and a lusty yell They TIley swung a beam and the side wall fell I asked the foreman Are these men skilled As the men you'd hire if you had to build l lie He e gave a laugh and said No indeed Just common labor is all I need I can easily wreck in a day or two What builders have taken a year to do dot dolAnd I And I thought to myself as I went my way Which of these roles have I tried to play Am I 1 a builder who works with care Measuring life by the rule and square Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made well plan Patiently doing the best I 1 can Or am I 1 a wrecker who walks the town Content with the labor of tearing down |
