lyrics

(Verse 1)
The world can be ugly, starvation, unrest, and some stop, love lost, hearts breaking in chests, vehicles crashing, cars flaming in wrecks, long bouts of sadness, hard days that depress, the persecuted forced into living a lie, children that cry, victims of crime, the sick that will die, bad economy, the poverty, the men and women that try, but fail 'cause they're short of resources the system deprives, racism, hatred, and prejudice, challenging brutality and vengefulness, problems with intolerance and threats of death, all the, horrors of war and the senselessness, yes, I guess, we just gotta press through it all, see beyond the hardships and find the beautiful, the world can be ugly, I'm sayin' it twice, but past the darkness is our day in the light, come on

(Verse 2)
The world can be beautiful, the prosperity and the peace, towns where we can walk merrily through the streets, children laughin', people filled with action, unity amongst communities, goodwill, compassion, and harmony, along with nature bloomin', without environmental dangers or great pollution, people sharing in wealth, taking care of themselves, without diseases, or scares to their health, the sisterhood and the brotherhood, the touching of lives, husbands and wives kiss and hug because love is good, no one misunderstood, everybody accepted, freedom for all, and human rights protected, beauty, in the beholder's vision, so what one sees can be the vision of the whole existence, putting the ugliness aside, 'cause as bad as things can be, we can raise the loveliness as high

(Outro)
Yeah, thanks for listenin', everybody, Christopher Michael Jensen, peace and love, I'm out
