The Lost Way
We live in a beautiful world
Where the earth is Rich and pure
And can provide for everyone
Where the way of life
Can be free and beautiful
We want to live by each other's happiness
And not by each other's misery
We do not want to hate
And despise one another
But we have lost the way
Greed has poisoned men's souls
Has barricaded the world with hate
Has goose-stepped us into bloodshed
Our knowledge has made us cynical
Our cleverness has made us hard
We now tend to think too much
And as a result, feel too little
But now more than knowledge
We need humanity
More than cleverness
We need kindness and gentleness
Without these qualities
Life will be full of violence
And with this path, all will be lost
Let's all try to re-find the way.
