This is a story about life
Everybody that lives surely dies
Many people seem to wonder why
We never really know what lies ahead
And we only get one life to live
That's why we gotta make the most of it
Just think of all life has to give (oh-wey-oh)
You gotta be willing to forgive
Remember to think positive
Tell me, something has to change, baby
This world is driving me crazy
We gotta find a way to make things better
Tell me, why can't we live together
From now untill forever
We gotta think about the mess we're making
This is a story about love
One thing there's just too little of
Problems we need to rise above
Just turn on the tv screen
It's everywhere, can't you see
This is not the way to be
Homeless children everywhere (oh-wey-oh)
What about their future do we care
There's gotta be some love left to spare
Tell me, tell me
Everyone deserves the right to be free
A baby needs a mommy and a daddy
Who accept responsibility
Tell me, tell me
Think about the possibility
Of living in a world that simply could be
A better place for you and me
Just think of all life has to give (oh-wey-oh)
You gotta be willing to forgive (oh-wey-oh)
All those people on the streets (oh-wey-oh)
What about somebody else's needs
Think about it, it's a mess we're making
Think about it, it's the world we live in (repeat)
