How Do You Do

Forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who have trespassed against us

Give us this day our daily bread

Daily bread, daily bread

Gloria Espiritu Santo

What language do you speak

If you speak at all?

Are you some kind of freak

Who lives to raise the ones who fall?

Hey, would you tell me why

The cat fights the dog?

Do you go to the Mosque

Or the Synagogue?

And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger

And if you wrote the script then why the troublemakers?

How do you do?

How does it feel to be so high

And are you happy?

Do you ever cry?

... I sometimes cry ...

You've made mistakes

Well that's OK 'cause we all have

But if I forgive yours

Will you forgive mine?

Hey, do you feel our pain

And walk in our shoes?

Have you ever felt starved

Or is your belly always full?

How many people die

And hurt in your name?

Hey, does that make you proud

Or does it bring you shame?

And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger

And if you wrote the script then why the troublemakers?

How do you do?

How does it feel to be so high

And are you happy?

Do you ever cry?

... I sometimes cry ...

You've made mistakes

Well that's OK 'cause we all have

But if I forgive yours

Will you forgive mine?

Forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who have trespassed against us

... Mehila ...

Give us this day our daily bread

... Mehila ...

Daily bread

... Mehila ...

Daily bread

... Mehila ...

Forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who have trespassed against us

... Mehila ...

Give us this day our daily bread

... Mehila ....

Daily bread

Daily bread

Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory

Amen!

How do you do?

How does it feel to be so high

And are you happy?

Do you ever cry?

... I sometimes cry ...

You've made mistakes

Well that's OK 'cause we all have

And if I forgive yours

Will you forgive mine?

... Will you forgive mine? ...

How do you do?

How does it feel to be so high

And are you happy?

Do you ever cry?

... I sometimes cry ...

You've made mistakes

And that's OK 'cause we all have

But if I forgive yours

Will you forgive mine...?
