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
