Save the World


Save the World

 

We Are the World 

It is up to us

We Can Work It Out  

The solution lies within

I am starting with the man in the mirror

I will think global and act local

Mercy Mercy Me 

Stop the pollution to the birds and bees

Please don’t paint paradise and put up a parking lot

We need our natural spaces

If I had a hammer

I would build everyone who needs a house a home

It’s another day for you and me in paradise

When we have all the food we need, but

When will there be a harvest for the world

So that no one goes hungry

Lines are drawn upon the world

By who?

Let’s imagine no country or religion too

COEXIST

All we are saying is give peace a chance

Because war doesn’t deserve one

It Don't Matter if you’re Black or White, but

The ink is black the page is white

Let’s teach the world to read and write

All these things they come in short supply;

Common sense and caring

And really at the end of the day

All you need is love
