This world would be a better place

If we would all just get along

This world would be a fantastic place

If we would all just stop being mean

This world would be an excellent place

If we would all just stop being cruel

*

See the mom struggling with her kids and her groceries?

See the older woman trying to mow her lawn?

See the grandfather trying to paint his porch?

See the man trying to open the door with his arms full?

Don’t just stand there.

Go and offer your assistance.

See a need

Fill a need

You can make this world such a better place for us all to live

*

This world would be a better place

If we would all just get along

This world would be a fantastic place

If we would all just stop being mean

This world would be an excellent place

If we would all just stop being cruel

*

See the kids who are picked on?

The one for wearing glasses?

The one for being overweight?

The one for being a nerd?

The one for being too skinny?

The one for failing the test?

Are the ones different than the rest?

Don’t just sit there.

Stand up

Speak up

Be the change this world needs.

*

This world would be a better place

If we would all just get along

This world would be a fantastic place

If we would all just stop being mean

This world would be an excellent place

If we would all just stop being cruel

*

We should treat each other with kindness

And kindness will come back to us threefold

Never be MUGLY to others who are different than us

And always try to understand where they are coming from

This life would be so much easier for each of us

If we just practiced the Golden Rule

In every aspect of our lives.

The Golden Rule is not just for Christians to follow

In my humble opinion

But for everyone to follow

Life would be so much better

If everyone just thought before they acted

And stopped doing any harm before they did any harm

*

This world would be a better place

If we would all just get along

This world would be a fantastic place

If we would all just stop being mean

This world would be an excellent place

If we would all just stop being cruel
