Just thinking, of war and peace
The never ending conflicts that affect you and me
Both here in America and across the sea
What a world this would be if only we could see

That the creator of you and me
Wants so much for us to know
Our panoramic scene of such a show
Of things that separate and hurt us so

It's not his will by any measure
It is peace on earth that gives him pleasure
For after all, we are his treasure

It is written; "his delight is with the children of men"
If this is true , then all men are kin
And how we relate is how we win
The best of this life and happiness within

We hear and see what's mostly in charge
As we scan the world at large
Not peace on earth and goodwill toward men
But increasing conflicts that never seem to end

Oh, there are pockets of peace, here and there
Would to God it were everywhere
Just thinking.
