Open Your Eyes
Open your eyes, look around
Feel the breeze, hear the sound
The grass is green, the skies are clear
the air is pleasant, the birds you can hear
The waters are like mirrors
where you can see your reflection
The leaves fall like feathers
as you smile in admiration’
How wonderful it is
to imagine our world like this
just thinking of it
fills us with such bliss
but wouldn’t it be better
if we take things to action?
wouldn’t it be better
if our hearts and hands open?
it takes one step at a time
and a lot of determination
tall ladders we’ll have to climb
but in the end there is a fortune
That fortune, folks, is a cleaner, safer world
and to get there,
we need actions, not only words
Let us build bridges,
work together hand in hand
for nothing will happen if only one person will stand
Let there be peace, universal harmony
let us be one, unity in diversity
we are all different, that’s the reality
but with each other, we are better
smarter and stronger
and together, we will meet prosperity.
