To Each His Own

A person came to my front door just yesterday
 Wanting to know if I believed in what they say
 I cannot say if your ideas are right or wrong
 But you have yours and I have mine, to each his own
 Own, hmm
 Yeah, yeah
 To them that's got, the best will come or so they say
 The ones without won't care or miss it anyway
 If all men have the right to taste prosperity
 I wonder why this choice is such a rarity
 A baby's born, a chance in life he does deserve
 The choices that he has to choose from, he soon learns
 Are they determined by the colour of his skin?
 Or do we take the time to see what lies within?
 To each his own
 Understanding is the real thing, ooh-ooh
 To each his own
 Sacrifice, compromise through foolish pride
 We'll even lie, yeah
 To each his own, mm (yeah, yeah, yeah)
 To each his own
 Ooh, ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
 You do it your way
 Hmm-mmm
 Your own thing, your own thing
 Your own thing, your own thing
 Your own thing
 Sometimes a thousand questions seem to plague your mind
 Some days the answers are impossible to find
 And everybody has advice on what to do
 Just carry on with what you feel for you is true
 With all we are, we never seem to satisfy
 The expectations others have of you and I
 So critical of who I am and what I do
 Looking at me when you should be looking at you
 To each his own
 Understanding is the real thing, understanding is the real thing
 Understanding is the real thing (ooh-ooh)
 To each his own
 We sacrifice, compromise through foolish pride
 We'll even lie
 To each his own (ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Carry on) to each his own
 (Hmm, so they say) to each his own
 Understanding is the real thing, yeah
 To each his own (ooh-ooh-ooh)
 To each his own (tell me it's inside me)
 To each his own (ooh-ooh)
 To each his own
