We Could
If we stopped fighting with Iraq
If we stopped fighting with Iran
If we stopped Impeaching Trump
If we turned our backs on war.
We could fight to save our planet
we could stand both proud and happy
with our leaders right and happy
build desalination plants for deserts
Using waste and fertilizer to reclaim
the arad land, to make countries
lush and lovely to make families a home
we could stand and work together
We could stand and work together
in the war to save our land
Awar of working people as they fight
both hand in hand to make a better planet
with jobs throughout the land
increased our space research
take robots into space
don't need to waste our human live's
If robots harvest metals
and humans operate
from ground-based signal lines
forget about sweet star-trek
We do not need that speed
can build new homes on planets
the moon and mars agreed
using robots over time
We could start by build buildings
using robots that don't breath
we could then start growing plants
using robots to plants seed
Taking time we could build
everything that any man would need
stand proud of what we're doing
stand proud and shout and rave
We could build a better planet
with investment let us path
the war-torn ravaged countries
create the farms and homes
building them new empires
as one united thrown
let's rebuild the shops the factory's
but not with thoughts of charity
Create the work for them to have
let them stand proud and strong
change the focus from our wars
and build the living song
The movies stars and people
could stand up hand and hand
singing praise through-out the world
for the work that we are doing
to make countries good and strong
with the land reclaimed from deserts
we build and grow the trees
to build houses' for the people
where they would love to be
all our people can be working
all our people can have jobs
if we'd only work together
In a world full of love
where we stop the war and fighting
and fight to save our land
to provide the love and laughter
with our children hand in hand
