I Dream of a World of Peace

I dream of a world of peace
where one who wishes for change, can wish without cease
where there is no such thing as rich and poor, and you can live a life of ease evermore

I dream of a world of peace
where the way you look can’t decide how you’re treated
and the lack of equality is greatly depleted
Black and white are merely hues, and there are no doleful stories of murder on the news

In a perfect world, things are different
A dark hand holds a light hand with no hesitation
and women have the strength to power our nation
people shout words of hope into the sky, and peace isn’t something seen only with your mind’s eye

I dream of a world of peace because…
I’d rather have peace on earth, than have our earth in pieces.
