My Perfect World

Do I envision one world free,
of hurtful, senseless bigotry?

where people you see with their success
won't fill you with envy and leave you less
and food you eat your babies too
were made with love not shareholder value

the pieces of earth we use and abuse
will one day be seated on their royal berth

the grass is greener without a fence
to brighten the prairie, chemical less

so join me now brothers and sisters
lend me your ear I'll show you how,
with three simple words I do decree,
In God's Trust His Will be freed
