I want to love my family.
And be a friend to strangers.
I don’t think that’s asking too much.
I want everyone to get along.
And be free to be free.
I don’t think that’s asking too much.
I want us to divert our gaze from ourselves.
And see the others as equals.
I don’t think that’s asking too much.
I want every hand put to work for the good.
And every mouth singing its anthem.
I don’t think that’s asking too much.
I want to live in a world of ideals.
And believe it could someday be.
I don’t think that’s asking too much.
I really don’t.
