If everyone cared
And nobody lied,
If the people shared
with their hearts full of pride,
If the whole world smiled
and wiped away their tears,
Euphoria would disappear-
From yesterday’s doubts
To today’s new route,
In everywhere there lingers sorrow.
The knowledge we hold
Is far greater than gold,
Will brighten today and tomorrow.
The dejected eyes
Of the cold blue skies,
Sees more than posterity’s seer.
But when days are rough
And the times become tough,
Home will always be near.
