Have you ever been pointing your finger at anyone,
Did you ever notice your finger kinda looks like a gun.
Well, just exactly what is it then I am trying to say,
Give me a minute there is a game I want you to play.

I have noticed when I point one finger at you,
When there is something I am wanting to get through.
Now take a look at what I see. “Do you see the other three?”
All of them are pointing back at me.

Ok, take a look at the thumb going straight up in the air,
You say, “Oh well it’s not pointing anywhere.”
Yes, but it is, it is pointing straight up above,
To the who watches over us with all of his love.

Now if I shift my hand just a little bit,
Pointing my thumb at me is my intent.
Look now at what I see, what does it say,
Just me and God there is no other way.

If you take your gun and put it away,
This is how people are meant to stay.
Close together is how we were meant to be,
Not in a fist but filled with love don’t you see.

So the next time you point your finger at someone,
Stop for a moment and take a look at what you’ve done.
There is one finger pointing one way,
But what are those other three fingers trying to say.

Maybe that person did something too,
Then the question is, well what about you.
So come on put that gun away,
Forgive and forget, get on with your day.
