Think about
the generations

a better place for our children
and children’s children.
So that they know
it’s a better world for them,
and think they can
make it a better place

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place
could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
you'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
there's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
make a little space
make a better place

Make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire (2) human race

If you care enough for the living

Make a better world

Heal the world
Make it a better place
for you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal (6) a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling (7) life
wound (8) this earth
crucify (9) its soul
Though it's plain to see
this world is heavenly be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations
turn their swords into plowshares (10)
We could really get there
if you care enough for the living
Make a little space
to make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
for you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me (×3)

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
You and for me
You and for me …
