Even though we were once bitter
Each one of us can embrace change,
By just becoming a little sweeter,
We can hang hate up the door hinge.

Even though we are all strangers
We can all become good friends
And do things together as regulars
By first hugging and shaking hands.

Even though we once messed up,
By loading intoxicants on the brain
We can all do better by waking up
And flushing the poisons down the drain.

Even though we fall short of God's glory
We all form parts of the human race
If we shake hands and tell each other sorry
We can make this world a peaceful place.
