All the words that a world can use
Come to naught
Easy to abuse “fellowship”
And “the right to choose”
And “to make a foe your friend”, “beginning”
And “the end”
“Let us kneel and pray”
“One more day”
“Charity”, “human kindness”
“Family”, “human blindness”
“Open mind”, “lend a helping hand”
“Fight for peace”, make love not war”
“What are we fighting for?”
Strange – the things we say
Games we play
The words will never be the same;
It doesn’t mean we’re not to blame;
Stand up and shout your name!
Who knows – it could all change
You sit down on your comfy old ass;
The moment comes, you say: “I pass”;
You nod your heads and reach for the grass
To float away
There’s no crime in humanity;
It’s no sin to delay
But you’ve got to know where you’re going
“Give us time – there’s a lot to do
Make it rhyme – make the dream come true
Give it life – life to dream”
But, to dream – is it all a dream?”
