People all over the world, take a stand and do what's right.
Put down the guns and knives, be compassionate, do not fight.
Accept others for who they are, do not judge and do not hate,
Do not do things you will regret, stop before it is too late.
Count your blessings, give to others in need,
Let a blooming generosity beat the power of greed.
Nobody should be neglected, pushed out of the way,
Every person in this world should have an opinion, have a say.
No matter our nationality, skin colour, race or tongue,
We should all be treated as equals, have friends to stand among.
Always show empathy, put yourself in someone else's feet,
When you are nice to others, you will find new friends to meet.
So stop the wars, stop the hate and stop the fights,
Please spread love, fight for equality, fight for rights.
We may be different with our height or even the hair on our head,
However all of the blood in our veins is the same red.
Remember this before you do, think or say,
We are all just humans at the end of the day.
