Each formed in our own unique mould.

See how this world is passing by .

Can we ever see eye to eye ?

Living in the global village .

There's no need to rob and pillage .

As one people under one roof .

We could discover living proof .

That we can love before we leave .

We can learn to live.
Not to grieve .



In a world where we all belong .

Where racists and killing are wrong.

Every country has a name .

All creeds and culture are the same .

We are humankind together .

There are changes in the weather .
There's problems that we need to fix .


With hope , faith and love in the mix .

No one's a burden if we care .

No one's hungry if we all share .

A true belief for one and all ,

is where real love answers the call .

We need to get the focus right.

We need to see things in the light .

We must pull together as one.

The puzzle of life's not yet done .

We need to see the whole picture .

All the bits fit in round and square .


The big picture we need to see.
In this small world
we must agree .
