We Can Do Better


If any child goes to bed hungry

We can do better,

If our veterans live on the streets,

We can do better,

If our sick die without proper care,

We can do better,

If there is hatred because of the color of someones skin, 

their choice of religion, or because they don't agree with you,

We can do better,

We are the GREATEST country on Earth,

Let's all try a little harder,

And DO BETTER!
