The Golden Rule

Somebody asked Jesus,  Lord teach me the truth
How can I get to heaven? Tell me what must I do
He said "Love God and follow this golden rule"

"Alway do unto others
As you would have them do to you"

The Buddha meditates beneath the Boodi  tree
He opened up his eyes and said it's clear to see
Compassion is the golden key to harmony

 "Hurt not others 
In ways that you yourself would find hurtful"

Mohammed wrote it down in an immaculate flow
As the angel spoke what Allah wants us all to know
He told the golden trait a true believer shows

"No one of you is a believer
Until he desires for his brother as he desires for himself"

The Hindu say that Soul is one and the soul
Of each of us is Brahma in another role
The golden way to let your inner god unfold

"This is the sum of duty:
Do not unto others what would cause you pain if done to you

The Jewish people living under sacred law
Jehovah's Word from visions that their prophets saw
Their golden wisdom verse from which we all should draw

What is hateful to you, do not to you fellow man
That is the entire law, all the rest is commentary

At the heart of every faith there is a holy sage
A  messenger of love for all the human race
Gonna change our foolish ways let's truly follow them
to a golden age

Somebody asked Jesus
He said "Love God and follow this golden rule"
