What's stopping us?


What's stopping us?

Why can't we reach out to a neighbor and lend a healing hand?

Mend a broken heart and be better friends?

Bring a little sunshine where there has been heavy rain?

And learn to love again?

What's stopping us

 From hear the pleading cries

of people begging to be heard?

Their hearts and minds wounded from all the pain?

And healing this world, making it a much better place

And living in a day where nobody dies?

What's stopping us?
