I Wish I Could Rewrite the Past

I wish I could rewrite the past
(Give humanity another chance)

I wish I could rewrite the past,
Remove all the heinous 
Atrocities, destruction and loss;
Give the wisdom of connectedness,
Collaboration and peace;
Goodwill and integrity,
Friendship and freedom...

I wish I could rewrite the past,
Give humanity another chance,
To become one happy family at last;
No more borders, wars or games;
No more egos, power or gains;
No more sacrifice, suffering or pain, 
Only the best of our hearts,
To create heaven on earth in His name.
