Imagine a Better World

Can you imagine a better world,
one without pain,
one without war?
One where young men won't go to battle
unsure of what they're fighting for?

Can you imagine a world like this:
one without sickness
and disease?
One without hospital bills and nurses,
one in which we can rest with ease?

Can you imagine a world of peace,
one without badness,
one without crime?
One where no longer will you need keys
or anyone fear being robbed all the time?

Can you imagine a world where we'll live
even forever
without death,
one where never again will we wonder
what we'll do with the days we have left?

The truth, you see,
is not far off -
one at which people
laugh and scoff.
Men can embrace
this hope if they try
to imagine a better world
in God's eyes.
