Heal the World

Who will heal the world
Change the future
For every boy and girl

This is not the life
That they would choose
There is so much
That they have to lose
Their very innocence
Resting gently in our hands
Is there anyone out there
That truly understands

All this hate
Right before their very eyes
They’re looking for the truth
All we feed them is lies
They hunger for knowledge
How can we make this right
The flame is slowly dying
Where is the light

Let us learn
How to love again
Fill their hearts
With hope again
Give them a fighting chance
Heal the world

The End
