When I Look At the World

When I look at the world what do I see,                                                                               I see mankind looking back at me.                                                                                 Some are kind and many are bad,                                                                                 makes me wonder if this crazy world has gone mad.                                                     Where are the lost days of love and compassion,                                                           seems like helping others is now out of fashion.                                                                 As I hold the world in my hands,                                                                                        I can clearly see all the different lands.                                                                            We are all different yet all the same,                                                                               we need to make love our world claim.
