A Better World

Let's create a better world

Doing what we can

Uniting in the cause of good

Every woman, child, and man.

Let's create a better world

One in which there's more giving

One in which our hearts are tender and open

Towards every person and everything living.

Let's create a better world

One in which there's peace and stability

One in which every child has a chance

Against the ravages of war, genocide, oppression, and inequity.

Let's create a better world

Where no one is belittled or mocked for despair

Let's use our knowledge, our prayers, and our wisdom

To face down all our human anxieties and cares.

Yes, let's create a better world, dear reader

One in which each one of us has faith, trust, and hope for tomorrow

To a better world let's be born

One in which we create more joys than sorrows.

Let's be born again to love and to trust

Born again to the promise of all we are meant to be

Born again to wisdom, joy, and awe

Born again to the infinite and golden treasures of our humanity.

Be born again, dear reader

Born to the awesomeness of everything you are meant to be

Born to your infinite potential and promise

To the love, the compassion, and the goodness that is your true destiny.

Be born again, dear reader

Born to the best you can be

Born to the miraculous and blessed life 

That's at the core of your birth and your humanity.
