Ola Belle Reed
six feet of earth makes us all of one size
Select language to translate this lyric
A cup of cold water in charity given
Is remembered with joy in the skies
We all are but human, and we all have to die
And six feet of earth will make us all of one size
'Though a man be in tattering rags
We should never reject or despise
For beneath there's a true honest heart
And six feet of earth will make us all of one size
Some people gain fortune and fame
While others try hard but can' rise
Above degradation and shame
Still... six feet of earth will make us all of one size
Yes a cup of cold water in charity given
Is remembered with joy in the skies
We all are but human, and we all have to die
And six feet of earth will make us all of one size
