Tonart: F major•
Verse 1
F
Socrates was onto something
centuries ago
When he said to know yourself
is all you need to know
Bb
At first I didn't get it,
wrote him off as old and bent
F
Now I've got some years behind me,
I know what he meant
C
It's the voyage of a lifetime,
it's the road that never ends
Bb
It's staying straight and true
when everybody's got the bends
C
It's working out what I'm about
Bb
and let ting others be
Moses heard the voice of God
and transcribed every word
Thou shalt not this, thou shalt not that,
was all he ever heard
Bb
Well we can't really blame him,
Bbm
he was a victim of his times
Bb
F
But let's thank God for Jesus,
he took a different line
C
Like love your brother as yourself,
that's all you need to do
Bb
If he asks you for your shirt,
Bbm
Bb
give him your jacket too
C
Stick with me and I'll show
Bb
you a place in paradise
C
I have to say my heroes
Bb
never were the spotting kind
F
I gravitated to the ones
And even though they're
dead and gone
Bb
And that contribution lingers
F
C
only in me
F
Imperfectly
Elgin Spitzer had it figured out
He got the third degree
Philosophy and medicine
And of course, theology
Bb
And somewhere in his spare time
He wrote the book on Bach
F
For him all human knowledge
Was a brisk walk in the park
Bb
C
Till he realized that action
Said much more than words could say
Bb
Built a clinic in the jungle
For the folks in Lambonet
C
Taught us all the simple truth
Bb
Of reverence for life
F

Thank you Albert Schweitzer
J. Adler was a man with great ideas
Believed that education starts
at the end of our school years
Bb
Designed a lifelong reading plan
from Homer through to Freud
F
Making sure our minds at least
are never unemployed
C
Proved that books are pointless
if you leave them on a shelf
Bb
That we don't know just what we know
F
Bb
Till we show someone else
C
Without him I don't think this song
Bb
Could have come this far
Thank you Albert Schweitzer
Bb
F
Thank you Jesus Christ
Bb
F
Thank you, Socrates
