We'd all be Just Fine


If I had all ability, strength, and power

I would give this world some dignity.

No more borders, we'd all be just fine.

When I'm alone I'm at peace...

without the aid of a pill, a needle, or pipe.

I mean the simple peace of mind.

The kind that keeps one hopeful.

You don't have to look over your shoulder,

You don't wake up in the night,

You're safe in your mind.

Do you know what that's like?

To be safe in your own mind.

That's what I want this world to have, and if we did-

We'd all be Just Fine.
