To and fro, to and fro,
around the earth his spirit does flow
searching high, searching low
where did all of his people go
Before daylight ever sees their eye
for a fee his babies die
their mommy's don't cry
and their daddies don't even sigh
To and fro, to and fro
he looks, wanting to know
Selfishness and greed
planted with their every seed
all that matters is what they need
his words they read
yet they do not heed
instead, from the world they choose to feed
Telling others how to live
but of themselves they would never freely give
To and fro, to and fro
where did his people go
Far from home
they did roam
now they face the world all alone
His name
some gladly claim
others speak it to shame
to them it's all a game
very few carry the flame
Daily they cry
me-o-my
always wondering why
Thinking to themselves, the world is so tough
I am not as bad as that one who is so rough
surely I am good enough
To and fro, to and fro
where did all of his people go!
