In the Name of Humanity

If I can look at all religions as one 
 Or I can follow the teachings of all 
 If I can preach for the unity of human souls
 Or I can aim high to achieve that goal
 I shall not live in vain

 If I can stop killing in all lands
 Or I can do my share to stop war
 If I can love all human races
 Or I can replace hatred with love and peace
 I shall not live in vain

 If I can feed one hungry soul
 Or I can uplift sadness from one saddened heart
 If I can bring two friends together after fight
 Or I can forgive the one who stoned me with a stone
 I shall not live in vain

 If I can teach a human being a skill
 Or I can make him live on his own
 If I can rekindle a candle at night
 Or I can guide a blind man to his door
 I shall not live in vain
