Heal the World

There’s a place in your heart, and I know that it is love. And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow. And if you really try, you will find there’s no need to cry. In this place you’ll feel there’s no hurt or sorrow.

There are ways to get there. If you care enough for the living, make a little space, make a better place.

Heal the world. Make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race. There are people dying. If you care enough for the living, make a better place for you and for me.

If you want to know why, there’s a love that cannot lie. Love is strong.
It only cares for joyful giving. If we try, we shall see. In this bliss we cannot feel fear or dread. We stop existing and we start living.

Then it feels that always love is enough for us growing. So make a better world. Make a better world.

Heal the world. Make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race. There are people dying. If you care enough for the living, make a better place for you and for me.
And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face. And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace. Then why do we keep strangling life, wound this earth, crucify its soul though it’s plain to see (that) this world is heavenly be God’s glow.
