time for a change

happiness is parasailing ... except if scared like me

 

 

Peace on earth is guaranteed

but how can it be free

Peace on earth is warranteed

but not for you and me

 

Love may come it often goes

but can we be without

Love your friends as well as foes

but understand the doubt

 

Happiness may be a part

of everything we do

Happiness is just a start

it need just start with you

 

Equal rights for all mankind

it sounds so sound to say

Equal rights we’ve been so blind

we have to find our way

 

Freedom is as freedom was

we sing it all the time

Freedom rings it always does

as freedom bells will chime

This would be nice. I wish the whole world could get along. If we did their would be no wars. How would we get our freedom if we did get along. This is impressive....xo
