A Broader Mind

Issac Bolston 1958 (USA)

Lyric
To understand the problems of the world
One must have a very broad mind
It’s important to take situations of history and relate them to todays times
Some us this method to gain wisdom and a better way of life
While others use this method to cause misery and strife
