We're all in this life together
If we like it or if we do not.
So let's join forces to make life better.
And grow a little wiser and live together.

Pride is foolish, and so is greed,
It allows a soul to stain and rot.
We shouldn't gather what we want, but what we all need,
To function as one and live together.

Luxury spoils and power corrupts.
Share the wealth and don't be bought;
Cease the bloodshed, but don't ever give up,
The most outstanding dream, to live together.

Nature you see, is the ultimate judge.
Death, disease, and pestilence She hath wrought.
So forgive, forget and never hold a grudge,
And join with God's creatures and live together.

Violence, Pain, Homelessness, Famine;
With one man's success, this be what the poor have got.
So open your hearts to the less Fortunate and begin,
To help each other to live together.

From the beasts of the land, to the creatures of the sea,
They live together in unity; as a community. So why can't we?
Unite as His children, every woman and man;
Throw down your arms, knock down those walls and join hands
In a peaceful Utopia where we can all live together.
