What would it take?

I wonder now

To hate Hate,

Fight it somehow

For all to love

And look beyond

The urge to crush

The differences found

 

Would it were so

That all were free

Of anger and rage

Envy and greed

The heart to glow

With warmth and ease

The spirit to soar

On the breath of a breeze

 

What would it take?

For man to leave

The prison he made

To innocence aggrieve.

To release the soul

From the bars of war

To embrace the One

To embrace them All?

 

What would it take?

I wonder now

For peace to be

The truth avowed.
