Hatred With Love

When I was eight years old I asked my mother
How do people hate each other
Yes I know it's insane but there's no answer
It seems they love to hate each other

We're like seeds on the ground in
A desert and cold land
Where spring will not come again
But we will warm each other
And grow together
More than ever

How would it be, to live in peace
Free from these angry centuries
A new way to think of a world
Where a smile's worth more than gold
Yes I believe this other wayI wanna do it right today
Think! what would it be
Take all the hatred and change it with love

Years have passed since I thought
The wars were over... oh!
I don't wanna wait forever
But I believe in every man and every woman
So we don't have to wait forever

We're at the book's main chapter
That was written too fast who'll remember us at the end
(Then) we'll rewrite it together
Try to make it better
To live forever

How would it be, to live in peace
Free from these angry centuries
A new way to think of a world
Where a smile's worth more than gold
Yes I believe this other wayI wanna do it right today
Think! what would it be
Take all the hatred and change it with love

...yes I believe this other way
We've got to do it right today
So, now let it be
Take all your hatred and change it with love
