I always dream

A day will come

Where we will all find peace.

No more death

And war and sin

The universe at ease.

But that can't happen,

They all say,

How could it anyway?

The world is suffering

In many different ways

We fail to see the beauty

That's right before our eyes

It runs through all the lands

And through the sea and skies

A gift of life and love

Bestowed by our Creator

Who gives us all things good

Without a return favor

But some of us

Out in the world

Let good turn into evil

Like harsh times of the past

In a dark, dark medieval

But one day

We'll see a world

Without toil or despair

One where all God's children

Are treated fair and square.

If you and I

Can change ourselves

And then look out to others,

Each heart will change,

Each love exchanged,

Like sisters and like brothers.
