If We Open Our Eyes

If we open our eyes 
 I know that we will see
 There’s some one
 Who’s less fortunate than we?

 And if look in our hearts
 I know that we will find
 There’s some one
 Who’s compassionate and kind?

 Just look around the world
 It’s not what should be
 And we can change it 
 But it’s up to you and me

 And if we all reach out a hand
 We can put a smile on some one face
 And if we open our hearts
 We can make this world a better place

 And if we all believe in the lord
 Then we know he love all of us
 So let us spread love and joy
 Like every day is Christmas

 It’s hard, so hard
 But we can make it if we try
 It’s sad .so sad
 If we don’t hear the children cry

 If we throw away the guns
 Then maybe all the wars will end
 And if we take time to talk 
 I think every one will be a friend

 And if you think I’m wrong
 Then just turn and walk away
 But if you think it’s worth a try
 Then let us make a difference today

 Many thinks that the holidays
 Is the only time for us to give?
 And for the rest of the year
 Our minds has no prerogative

 We all are humans first
 Before religions or race
 Some of us are fortunate
 And some life’s are displace

 We say we can’t fix the problems
 So we stand a side and wait
 So let’s make everyday like Christmas
 And love will over come the hate
