HOW LIVING SHOULD BE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

when I was just a young boy
I watched Mother and Father
working the farmland
and planting apple trees

as I ran around underfoot
I asked why should you bother
they said this
is how living should be

they said that a good life
in sight of God and the sun
a life that is honest
and fruitful and clean

is a blessing that's worth
all the riches of the earth
remember son
this is how living should be

I became a young man
and fell into the city
working all the night
and sleeping through the day

then one twilight I woke up
with a horrible feeling
and I realized
I'd forgotten how to pray

this was not a good life
with no love and no wife
I was only a shadow
with no love and empty

so like the prodigal son
I returned to the country
back to the open arms
of the girl I did love

and I said to the open
blue sky up above
now at last I know
how living should be
