Our World...

O' to be in a world where life is fair

where no one made fun of your clothes or hair

to be in a world where equality thrived

and money didn't control the majority's lives

would be a world that I would covet

a world where we looked out for one and other

A world where neighbours spoke to neighbours

and postcodes didn't separate the races

this world where I long to be

cannot only exist in me

a world where we can walk the streets

without the fear of gangs, knives, and thieves

A world where war didn't exist

and those lives lost to crime had no need to be missed

A world where no one has heard of terrorism

where countries pull together and share their wisdom

A world where religion didn't separate humanity

a place where no one is lost in their vanity

A world where people live as one

pull together and work as one

A world where no matter the colour of your skin

every person sees what is truly within

A world where peace flows through the nations

can not only exist in my imagination

We live in a world that is not fair

where people make fun of your clothes and hair

a place where equality does not thrive

and money controls the majority's lives

We live in a world where neighbours don't speak to neighbours

and postcodes do separate the races

A world where we can't walk the streets

because of the fear of gangs, knives and theives

And in our world war does exist

and those lost to crime are sadly missed

where we always hear of terrorism

and countries don't pull together to share their wisdom

Where religion separates humanity

and men and women are lost in their vanity

In our world we don't live as one

we don't pull together and work as one

Our world judges the colour of our skin

and doesn't see what is truly within

and peace doesn't flow through the nations

and bombs go off in train and bus stations

So what of this world that we do live in

it can change if we are willing

It can change if we pull together

hold our heads high and stand together

because if we all stand as one

the world will be the world we want
