Just One World

There is a man in a bar
Drinking a bottle of whisky
And a couple in the hospital
Welcoming a new baby

There is a guy on the beach
Selling cotton candy
There is a woman in court house
Waiting to be set free

We all have to share
Just one world
We all are mix up
Like cereal in a bowl

There is a thunder storm
Coming from the Atlantic Ocean
Evacuation order
Every one leave in hesitation

There is a girl in sears
Trying on all the lipstick
There are children in MacDonald’s
With egg, cheese and biscuit

We all have to share
Just one world
We all are together
Like clay in a mold

There’s a fire in the forest
Burning trees and houses
There’s a woman in India 
Trying on some new blouses

And in a city in Iraq
Is a girl with chocolate ice-cream?
And in Thailand
A boy is having a bad dream

We all have to share
Just one world
Just like the colors
Black, white, and gold
