The world I’d love to live in
Is one with worldwide peace
Where everyone has living kin
And disease has seemed to cease
Where wars were never heard of
And we all live in harmony
No greed, no hunger and no pain
With not a hint of poverty
The flora and our fauna
Is our only legacy
To keep in everlasting trust
For your family and for me.
