I see the ways of this world
Full of selfishness and hostility
It makes no sense to me
Why can't we just get along?
If we put aside our differences
And stop making inferences
About one another
Maybe if we stopped all the greed
We could be a world full of the freed
No more racism or rich or poor
None of the cruelty
Or and if that brutality
All of us truly equal
Then maybe the world would be better
And we could all stand together
On this planet we call home
