Are You Content?

When the world is free from famine When the world is free from war When the world is safe to live in Then I’ll fear no more. When we’ve got rid of hunger And when we’ve got rid of pain When the world is a home to the innocent Then I’ll be proud again. Are you content with slavery? Are you content with war? Are you content with the way things are run? Corruption and hatred galore. We know there is no easy walk To a world of love and peace But we will fight and pay our way Yes, all the wretched fees. One by one, All suffering must end No one should live in a world of fear Work with me my friend. Are you content with hunger? Are you content with greed? Are you content to see children suffer? Well let’s give them what they need. It’s going to be a long task To my this world our home, But we will not give up hope We’ll make this place our own.
