Respect Them
 
Lyrics
Respect Them

If they choose to live the way they do
Then let them
Close the window draw the curtain
And respect them
Don't keep sending our good kids to fight
For causes that may not be right
Close the window draw the curtain
And respect them

People live their lives in different ways
But who can swear whatever sways
The way they live is lesser than our own
Different cultures different days
But who-knows-best if one man prays
His own prayer
It's him there
Not us
No fuss
Yes it's him there
Not us
No fuss

If they choose to live the way they do
Then let them
Close the window draw the curtains
And respect them
Don't keep sending our good kids to fight
For causes that may not be right
Close the window draw the curtains
And respect them

People fill their days with different things
But who can swear whatever swings
The things they do are lesser than our own
Different country different craze
But who knows best why one man plays
His own game
It's him there
Not us
No fuss
Yes it's him there
Not us
No fuss
Bridge:
If some choose to live too differently for others to ignore
Closing windows, drawing curtains is preferable to war
Ways that may or may not be right
Can't be so bad they start a fight
Close the window draw the curtains
And respect them

If they choose to live the way they do
Then let them
Close the window draw the curtains
And respect them
Don't keep sending our good kids to fight
For causes that may not be right
Close the window draw the curtains
And respect them
Close the window
Draw the curtains
Respect them
Respect them
