a better place

i sometimes wonder what it would be like

if there wasn’t pain, no suffering in sight

i sometimes wonder how it would be

if sickness and sorrow ceased to be

if there were no hate or tears

no sins or fears

no homeless or starving

no drugs or dying

the world would be a better place

i sometimes wonder what life could be

if we all felt genuine empathy

i sometimes wonder how it would feel

if love were pure, if kindness were real

if there were no guns or knives

no stolen lives

no killing in wars

no one closing doors

the world would be a better place

do you ever wonder what it would be like

If we could all live a peaceful life?
