If I could see this blue marble through the eyes of a child
There would be no more hate 
Only flowers that grow wild

Love would abound, warm smiles and hugs
Taking only time to chase lightning bugs

Not being aware and free from all cares
In a beautiful world where no one swears

Time to wake up and face reality
This only lives in my dreams I see

This old cruel world is full of hate and sin
Accepting Jesus gives a new view from within
