Think about the problems of life
Most of them are based on strife
In truth and fact, there are too many
‘Cause some fight even over a penny
This we can change bit by bit
But first people must think about it

Think about nature’s gifts
And tell me if you can make a list
Slowly but surely it’s dying away
And man is the reason why they can’t stay
This we can change bit by bit
But first people must think about it

Think about how short life can be
And how some die painfully
I know none of you want to go through that fact
But smoking and drinking would definitely do that
This we can change bit by bit
But first people must think about it

Think about love and compassion
Don’t you think that’s better than hatred and confusion?
Some people only have hatred in mind
But it’s not worth, what in the end you’ll find
This we can change bit by bit
But first people must think about it

Thinking about it is just a start
‘Cause only you know what in your heart
We say that actions speaks louder than words
So show me that my voice is not unheard
Clean up your act, it’s the only way to be
For how this world is today, depends on you and me.

This is a great message, my friend. It will take quite a bit of thought to change some of these things, but it takes one thought to start it! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, I love that "We can change it bit by bit, but first people must think about it". This is SO my thought pattern! Problem with me is I see the worst of people in a general mass. Oh well, maybe if you're positive, we balance out. Everything balances in this universe.

I thought about it and agreed hehe.
Great message!

WOW

beautiful thoughts
I surely will let you be heard

So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.

I thought a lot about this, the world is in a lot of trouble if it continues the way it is. I just needed to say something, writing is my way of expressing myself. I'm happy I'm not being unheard.

Every action of our lives touches some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
