People all around the world
You've just got to get yourselves together
I see a man and he's standing there
With a gun right in his hand
(Don't shoot him, he's your brother)
He thinks it's right
To take the life of everyone he can
(You've just got to love one another)
There's got to be more love and affection
And just a little dedication to the cause
Let's sing it again
There's got to be more love and affection
And just a little dedication to the cause
And this is what I'm praying for
chorus
People all around the world
You've just got to get yourselves together
I said people all around the world
You've just got to get yourselves together
I see a man who thinks
It's right to put his woman down
(No way to treat a lady)
And there's a woman who thinks
The world revolves around her own
(Just look at yourself
Just look at yourself
In the mirror baby)
By showing a bit more love and affection
We can rise to the occasion
I know it, just sing it again
By showing a bit more love and affection
We can rise to the occasion
I know it, and this is what I'm praying for
chorus
And if you look into my eyes
You'll see a vision of a life
Where no war, no pain, no lies
The choice is lying in your hands
No petty criticising
For what you call unwise
I hope you take it
It's up to you to make this world
A peaceful loving nation
Assess the situation
Go forth and multiply your love
This is what I'm speaking of
'Cos every man's a brother
Every woman is a sister
Can you feel that soul love
And this is what I'm praying for
chorus
