Universal Prayer
For the dying and the lonely
For those who cannot speak
For the aimless and drifting
For the tired and the weak
May the world be kind and gentle
May we learn to understand
May we replace the bullet and the bomb
With a gentle and helping hand
May we feed the starving
May we bring a release
From the horror and the suffering
May we bring a lasting peace
May we walk a path of brotherhood
May we grow the species soul
May we one day progress to be
Part of the Universal Whole
May we heal the blue planet
The wondrous Mother Earth
The protector of the species
The place of our birth
Let us look to the future
Let us take good heart
Without that first small step
The journey can never start
Amen
Amen
