[Chorus]
Lord, must I do unto others
Before they do unto me?
Must I arm myself?
To protect myself?
From harm and injury?
Oh no, that is not the lesson
That I learned on my mother's knee
When she told me to
Do unto others
Only what I'd have them do unto me
Lord, must I do unto others
Before they do unto me?
Must I arm myself?
To protect myself?
From harm and injury?
Oh no, that is not the lesson
That I learned on my mother's knee
When she told me to
Do unto others only what I'd have them do unto me
(Only what I would have them do unto me)
Oh, only what I'd have them do unto me
(Only what I would have them do unto me, hey)
Oh, only what I'd have them do unto me
