Better World

I wanna make a statement
I wanna make it strong
I wanna tell everybody
That war is wrong
Why can't us humans
Live in peace with each other
Doesn't matter what colour or creed
We're all sisters and brothers

I wanna live in a better world (x4)

It seems a fact that in this world
There's more than enough to share
So I want to say emphatically
That it just asint fair
When some people live in mansion
And own three or four BMWs
While others they go hungry
Don't even have a pair of shoes

I wanna live in a better world (x4)

I wanna make a little point
To the people up there in power
That life on Earth is being destroyed
Hour by hour
'Cause it gets so frustrating
When there's nothing you can do
You wanna tell these guys the truth
But you can't get the message through

I wanna live in a better world (x4)

Human stupidity is driving me insane
Every time I pick up the paper
I read about it again and again

I wanna say how important it is
For us to open our hearts
Just listen to the other fellow
It's a place to start
I'm not saying I'm any better
Than those I criticise
But if we could be intelligent
Then we could be civilised

Then we could live in a better world
Yeah we could live in a better world
Oh we could live in a better world,
Yeah we could live in a better world
