Somewhere

Somewhere there is a place
where hate and war is erased
Where hunger and starvation ends
where enemies become friends

Somewhere there is a time
when peace and love combine
When nature's bounty abounds
when Good wears a crown

Somewhere there is respect
what you give values what you get
What you labor true to what you expect
what is right never again gets the reject

Somewhere in your heart
where greatest starts as a spark
When all doubt and fear depart
what the joy of the world becomes as you help start
