If I could stop the world
for just one day.
I would make a change
upon the human race.
I would fix our language
from the very start.
Never allowing a word
to keep people appart.
I would blind all hate
that hides inside the dark.
And plant the seeds of love
deep in every heart.
I would burn each bridge
to evry lonely road.
Replacing them with lines
of hands to always hold.
I would give new eyes
so that all could see.
We need to come together
to build a world of peace.
I would read a prayer
understood by all mankind.
Teaching to heal the world
before we run out of TIME...........
I believe in humanity
