It's 2020
The first day of a new decade
And I wonder
What will the next ten years bring?

The time will fly by
That’s for sure
And on New Years Day 2030
Will we still be wondering
Why we are in such a mess?

Will a technological revolution for good
Have swept the planet?
Will the clean and green energies
Have replaced the oily polluters?
Will the super-rich have redistributed their wealth?
And will the poor have found their feet?

Will children dance with joy
As they grow and learn?

Will the old be comfortable
As they prepare to depart?

Will the homeless be housed?
The damaged be repaired?
The species be recovered?
The ice caps refrozen?

Is all of this possible?
Is any of this possible?

Is it possible to make the world
Turn differently?
