Let Love Embrace Us All
We could build desalination plants
get water up to rivers irrigate the land
the farms are dust and dying
we can't depend on rain
Take water from the ocean's
and let the salt remain
would help, to keep the balance
in nature's just domain
Reclaim the land from deserts
with water fresh and new
you build a land worth living
with trees and grass and dew
In forests, then build sprinklers
that turn on and keep them wet
reducing forest fire's
would stop the loss and pain
Perhaps we could build towers
with missiles filled of foam
with satellite surveillance
to put out the starting flame
build jobs within the starving world
and stop the starving child
we could invest in farming
with factories and shops
creating work and livelihoods
careers to set them free
parents that have money
can feed the starving child
stand up then heads of synagogue's
stand up then heads mosque's
stand up then proud as Christians
stand up now good and strong
stand up as heads of governments
stand up as Kings and Queens
walk tall, and strong then proud of life
this planet that you save
Will live to feed your family
and not become their graves
investment can be used my friend
to stop the dying lives
Investment stops the starving
our wars they could now stop
as people have the jobs they need
and farmers have the crops
we don't need to hate each other
become proud through out the world
the past is now forgiven
let love embrace us all
