The Right Thing

sometimes my helplessness and introspection
led me in the wrong direction
only in the love you gave me
did I find a power to save me

when I confined myself in cold confusion
derelict, in disillusion
love was what you brought and tendered
and it was to love I surrendered

life was a hardship course
with no joy to live, full of self-remorse

baby, you are the sweet salvation of my soul !
baby, you are a good thing, a right thing
the good thing, the right thing

life was in empty space
an embittered smile on a lonely face
now there is sweet fulfilment
all because of you, all because of you

life was a suffering without exemption
purposeless, without redemption
only with the love you gifted
did I feel the veil being lifted

baby, you are the sweet salvation of my soul !
baby, you are a good thing, a right thing
the good thing, the right thing
