Letters of Disappointment & Journeys of Hope: Falling Through the Cracks of Our Perfect Society

"All For The Best" Lyrics - Musical "Godspell"

Some men are born to live at ease,
doing what they please,

Richer than the bees are in honey
Never growing old, never feeling cold
Pulling pots of gold from thin air
The best in every town, best at shaking down
Best at making mountains of money
They can't take it with them, but what do they care?
They get the center of the meat, cushions on the seat
Houses on the street where it's sunny..
Summers at the sea, winters warm and free
All of this and we get the rest...
But who is the land for? the sun and the sand for?
You guessed! It's all for the best
