What Should Be

This terrible world In which we live Is all about take And not enough give Life is about opposites But what we really need Is to live without anger Untruthfulness and greed What will we leave For our kids one day If we're full of corruption Unjust and dismay We should unite together In this country so fine Learn to love one another Your neighbor and mine We'll learn from the Bible Like God said we should Then maybe we can live in A world focused on good
