R Fines SOCAN
Every year in springtime when the ice and snow retreat
Robins make their way back north and homes up in our trees
Loons cruise the lakeshore for the nest site they will choose
They all come home to roost
Everything you say, everything you do
Every word and deed, they all come back to you
Every little lie, every single truth
It all comes home to roost
Everything that’s kind, everything that’s cruel
Each of your intentions become a part of you
Every time you try, each good thing that you do
It all comes home to roost
Each and every day we must try to do our best
Keep a clear conscience, you’ll always get your rest
Fill your heart with love in everything you do
And it all comes home to roost
Have an eye for beauty, you’ll see it everywhere
Keep an open mind, try always to be fair
Remember love thy neighbour, to thine own self be true
And it all comes home to roost
