If the World Could Be One
If the world could be one,
Would we make the right choices?
Would we know what the right choices are?
If we made mistakes,
Would we fix them or leave them?
Could we trust each other or will our rivalries from our ancestors interfere?
Would war be over or would it just be starting again?
Would we accept our responsibilities or would we put them off and break the chain?
If the chain broke,
Would we mend it or would we split off into different groups and never rejoin it as one?
Are we on the right road to success?
Or do we need to slow down and think
What is success?
We all do,
Inch by inch, step by step, mile by mile,
Help out on the way,
In order,
For the world to be,
One.
