How important is our banner
If it has no meaning
All the words and their might
If they only remain as dreaming
You see the grin, the flashing teeth
We’ll see you all next season
Not considering we might not be back
Due to sickness, death, or any reason
We march on though – brave and bold
Tending to what is important
Stepping by those who are in the way
The sick, needy and otherwise impotent
We have our things, and what we do
Our agendas clear we stick to the rule
There is more along with this
Other groups that also think they’ll do
Fingers are pointed at the other guy
Who doesn’t seem to have a clue
Those are the kind we’re talking about
They get in the way of our being home free
Ignore the fact that they need help
Unaware of their misery, but
There is one who stops and listens
Hears and knows what the deal is
Gets the crumb-bag back on his feet
Makes sure he is safe and then pays his bills
The Samaritan knows who his neighbor is
He knows the story of love and
Is content to serve those in trouble
Never had a need for a banner
