This is Our World
by Casey Day and Joan Lazarus

Once upon a time in far away
I heard that there was peace
Friendship and love had become the law
Meaning war would forever cease
Oo-ooo war would forever cease

Harmony reigned between all lands
Women and men had taken a stand
To live as in the promised land
To live together in peace
Oo-ooo to live together in peace

This is our world
Why can't we live in harmony?
This is our world
Why can't we live in peace?
I want my world to shine with the promise and hope for tomorrow
I want my world to shine - to shine together in peace

I want my world to shine with the promise and hope for tomorrow
I want my world to shine forever in peace
I don't want to see people die
I don't want to hear my children cry
I just want my world to live together as one

This is our world
Why can't we live in harmony?
This is our world
Why can't we live in peace?

Now I know that there's a way that we all can get along
And stop doing these things that are wrong
And I know that there's a way that we all can say
We don't need this killing
We don' need this hating
All we have to do is live in peace

Once upon a time in far away
I heard that there was peace
Friendship and love had become the law
Meaning war would forever cease
Oo-ooo war would forever cease
