 Questions on how you'd like to meet Jesus
Or how you'd like to live with him
Some people follow gurus
Search truth and knowledge
Some people don’t want any religion in their life
They just want to feel OK
So far history is full of great people
Who like to see peace in the world
Who like to see peace in the world
So far history is full of great people
Who like to see peace in the world
Who like to see peace in the world
Some people want to get on the council
Improve the environment
Some people want be members of parliament
And improve the country
Some people want be anarchists
And improve the whole world, Oh ohh ohh
So far history is full of great people
Who like to see peace in this world
Who like to see peace in this world
So far history is full of great people
Who like to see peace in the world
Who like to see peace in the world
But there isn’t any peace, anywhere, really
Everyone and everything is in a hopeless mess
Arguing and fighting
Everyone and everything is in a hopeless mess
Arguing and fighting
So what can we do about it
How about doing more listening than talking
Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt
People say give and take
Why can't we give and give
People say give and take
Why can't we give and give
This isn't exactly going to bring about peace in the world
But it’s something
But it’s something
And we will probably still have a bad time
What Can I Say?
What Can I Say?
What Can I Say?
