| Hammering on my six-string like a loser
|
| Calling what I do art, like there’s a future
|
| When I know that it’s nothing that I can rely on
|
| But, at least I’m happy and hey, that’s something'
|
| There’s so many people never knowing
|
| What happiness is, and it’s showing
|
| In the way that they treat themselves and the world
|
| I think it’s tragic to ignore the magic
|
| I extend my hand as a friend and a lover
|
| I extend my hand as a son, as a brother
|
| If we don’t take time and help one another
|
| We are destined for failure and won’t get to discover
|
| There’s a great new world out there we can explore
|
| We don’t have to hurt if we don’t want to no more
|
| When there is no justice, We silenced the truth
|
| Tell me how the red, white and blue looks to you
|
| Because all I can see is a hate, lies and negativity and it sickens me
|
| And I would never stop to smell the roses
|
| 'Cause I never thought long what that proposes
|
| It means enjoy the beauty in every moment
|
| 'Cause every moment could be our last one, it’s true.
|
| I know it feels like time is an enemy to you
|
| Like there’s nothing good that you can do
|
| I know exactly what you’re going thru
|
| And I extend my hand as a friend and a lover
|
| I extend my hand as a son, as a brother
|
| If we don’t take time and listen to each other
|
| We are destined for failure and won’t get to discover
|
| There’s a great big world out there we can explore
|
| And we don’t have to hurt if we don’t want to no more
|
| In this wild world, where life is always strange
|
| Take a deep breath and let yourself Embrace the change
|
| I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor
|
| That’s not my business
|
| I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone
|
| I should like to help everyone if possible
|
| We all want to help one another
|
| Human beings are like that
|
| We want to live by each other’s happiness
|
| Not by each other’s misery
|
| We don’t want to hate and despise one another
|
| In this world, there is room for everyone
|
| And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone
|
| The way of life can be free and beautiful
|
| For those who can hear me, I say do not despair
|
| The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power
|
| They took from the people will return to the people
|
| Don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you
|
| Enslave you; |
| who regiment your lives, tell you what to do
|
| What to think and what to feel!
|
| Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men
|
| Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
|
| You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!
|
| In you! |
| You, the people, have the power
|
| The power to create machines, the power to create happiness!
|
| You, the people, have the power
|
| To make this life a wonderful adventure!
|
| Now let us fight to fulfill that promise
|
| Let us fight to free the world!
|
| To do away with national barriers!
|
| To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance!
|
| Brutes have risen to power. |
| But they lie!
|
| They do not fulfill that promise. |
| They never will!
|
| You have the love of humanity in your hearts! |
| You don’t hate!
|
| Only the unloved hate; |
| the unloved and the unnatural
|
| Let us all unite!
|
| Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where
|
| Science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness
|
| Let us fight for a new world! |
| A decent world!
|
| Let us all unite! |
