Code of Ethics - Manhattan Transfer

There’s an infinity of ways

And just as many people striving for them, oh

Who’s to say what is wrong or right

Only we can judge what lies within us

It’s our code of life

So much is counting on what we say

So many virtues that we must weigh

Where’s the light we long for

love must find a way

And all things in their time will follow, oh…

It’s like a wave of honor in motion,

floating away,

It’s like an overwhelming emotion,

one and the same

If we take the time to find it

We can help define a way

uncharted

Code of ethics, feel it

Stand, be counted

Life is only what we make it

So don’t fake it

Just make it right

Like a visionary’s dream

There’s a cry for truth we need to know

Is it life or a novel’s theme

Underlying codes we’d live or die for

It’s a mystery

Violence is growing, it’s in the air

People are starving while others stare

Where’s the light we long for?

Love must find a way

And all things in their time will follow — oh

If we take the time to find it

We can help define a way

uncharted

Code of ethics, feel it

Stand, be counted

Life is only what we make it

So don’t fake it

Just make it right

Code of ethics, live it

Stand, be counted

Life is only what we make it

So don’t fake it

Just make it right
