What the World Needs Now

George E. Simmons

What the world needs now
its sad but true
Is many more people like me and you
A few more people, with your compassion
and your wisdom too, is always in fashion
What the world needs now its plain to see
is caring and love, and people like me
A few more people that know how to live
who's thoughts are always very positive
Who look for some good, in the very worse
and never think to blame or curse
People like you would really be
a much needed blessing to people like me.
