A Better World
The Limeliters

Let those who want to fight, fight.
From the ruins they may somehow build a better world,
And choose as their companions those who share a love for living,
And give more than they are given.

Let those who want to live, live.
Someday they may seek to build a better world,
And choose as their companions those who share a love for living,
And give more than they are given.

I see children yet unborn,
Homes still untorn,
Families full of faith in things unseen.
I hear trumpets still unblown,
Secrets still unknown,
There's a new flag of hope still unfurling.

Let those who are laid to rest, rest,
Who gave their lives to build a better world,
To lie with their companions who shared their love for living,
And gave far more than they were given.

There are mountains still unclimbed,
Poems still unrhymed,
Promises of peace on the horizon,
There are vows still unmade,
Souls still unsaved,
Though God is not dead, nor is He dying.

Let those who have a dream, dream,
Together we could work to build a better world.
Hand-in-hand with our companions who share our love for living,
And give more than we are given,
Let us give more than we are given.
