Everybody Stop!

If we could teach the world, one thing it should not be, the price of string the microwave and why it pings the endless list, of English kings the dynasty, of Chinese Ming the mystery, of golden rings the history, of Western Swing No absolutely none of these things with all the distraction they would bring if we could teach the world one thing we need everybody to stop we need everyone to listen and look to hear the little bird that sings and watch it flap its tiny wings If we could teach the world one thing we'll show those people how to dream above the crazy sounds and scenes to find all the hope and all the joy that our imagination just might bring If we could teach the world one thing maybe somehow we could learn the power of ideas, the power of ideals with courage, decency, justice and truth from all of those who walked before Dorchester Labourers, Doctor King women who did amazing things in science, politics, literature and more if we could teach the world one thing.
