One World

Verse


In a world that shares light
does love pass us by?
Do we reach down inside
to hear children cry?
Why does hope for tomorrow
seem a dream of our past?
Can reality fade
with fear of the blast?


Verse


There's much more around us
just take time to listen.
Whatever you strive for
can be your volition.
Silent tears of our fathers
we can't leave unsaid.
Don't wait for the last drop
of blood to be shed.


Chorus


All that is gentle,
 peace which we seek,
may only be ours
if we stand-up and speak.
Hunger before us that tears lives apart
can only be silenced
if we open our hearts.


Verse


Freedom by right, justice for all,
let no one before you
stumble or fall.
United as one, let each flag unfurl.
Together we'll stand
as one single world.


Chorus


All that is gentle,
peace which we seek,
may only be ours
if we stand-up and speak.
Hunger before us that tears lives apart
can only be silenced
if we open our hearts.


Repeat Chorus and Fade

Classy and so smooth, Paul. I agree with Jude, this flows effortlessly and yet penetrates the mind with its poignancy and meaning. DOES this have music?? Please let us hear if so. A really professional piece. Wonderfully achieved. TY Kate xx
