The peaceful town in sight, the birds are flying by,

Why can't the world be as peaceful as this? I really wonder
why

People can go out at night with nothing at all to fear,
Nobody nasty around to get them, nobody to draw a tear,

Children can walk the streets, no reason to be scared,
They can talk to strangers, don't need to have a guard,

No killing, no raping, no mugging, no lies
Why can't the world be as peaceful as this? Nothing to
despise

No starvation, no poor, no poverty, no strain,
Nobody hurting brothers and sisters, nobody drawing pain,

Animals can live happily and freely, no fear of getting
shot,
They can live just like us, no fear of being got,

The roads at night are clear, the cars don't make much
noise,
Children playing happily, they always have a good choice,

No weapons, no violence, no fear or fright,
People can just sleep soundly at night,

We all hope for a perfect world, it's not always what comes
by,
but... Why can't the world be as peaceful as this?

Sometimes, I wonder why.
