In the Name of Humanity
If I can look at all religions as one
Or I can follow the teachings of all
If I can preach for the unity of human souls
Or I can aim high to achieve that goal
I shall not live in vain
If I can stop killing in all lands
Or I can do my share to stop war
If I can love all human races
Or I can replace hatred with love and peace
I shall not live in vain
If I can feed one hungry soul
Or I can uplift sadness from one saddened heart
If I can bring two friends together after fight
Or I can forgive the one who stoned me with a stone
I shall not live in vain
If I can teach a human being a skill
Or I can make him live on his own
If I can rekindle a candle at night
Or I can guide a blind man to his door
I shall not live in vain
