A Better Place
Embracing Humanity: A Call for Compassion and Change
Lyrics
Is it uncommon to want to love
Expressing the desire to love
People who're in need of love, love
Emphasizing love for those in need
Is it uncommon to want to care
Questioning the rarity of wanting to care
For people who're in need of care, care
Highlighting the importance of caring for those in need
Is it uncommon to want to help,
Questioning the rarity of wanting to help
People who're in need of help
Expressing the desire to help those in need
Is it uncommon to want to feel
Questioning the rarity of wanting to feel for others in despair
For others while they're in despair, hey yeah
Expressing the desire to empathize with others in despair
But oh, tell me it's not so
Expressing doubt about the commonality of such desires
Tell me the world can be a better place
Expressing hope for a better world
Beyond colour creed or race
Desiring a world beyond divisions like color, creed, or race
Ooh, tell me it's not true
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of a better world
Tell me I'll find a world where people say
Desiring a world where people are willing to sacrifice for a better place
They'd give up everything for a day
Expressing the willingness to give up everything for positive change
To make the world a better place
Reiterating the desire for a better world
Is it uncommon to succeed
Questioning the rarity of succeeding after paying life's dues
Having paid a life of dues
Reflecting on the experience of overcoming challenges
Is it uncommon to have seen
Questioning the rarity of seeing oneself in others' situations
Yourself in someone else's shoes
Highlighting the importance of empathy
Is it uncommon to believe
Questioning the rarity of believing in charity
In someone's sense of charity
Emphasizing belief in the value of charitable actions
Is it uncommon to live our lives
Questioning the rarity of living without hypocrisy
Free of all hypocrisy
Expressing the desire to live authentically
Oh, tell me it's not so
Reiterating doubt about the commonality of positive desires
Tell me the world can be a better place
Expressing hope for a better world, repeating the theme
Beyond colour creed or race
Desiring a world beyond divisions, repeating the theme
Ooh, tell me it's not true
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of positive change
Tell me that people care enough to say
Desiring a world where people care enough to make sacrifices
They'd give up everything for a day
Expressing the willingness to give up everything for positive change, repeating the theme
There's so much we can do to make a better place
Highlighting the potential for collective action to improve the world
(Make the world a better place)
Reiterating the theme of making the world a better place
If we could give of ourselves unconditionally
Proposing unconditional giving as a solution
Maybe then our souls would have a better chance
Suggesting that selfless giving improves the chances of eternal fulfillment
At eternity
Reflecting on the spiritual implications of selfless acts
Oh, tell me it's not so
Reiterating doubt about the commonality of positive desires
Tell me the world can be a better place
Expressing hope for a better world, repeating the theme
Beyond colour creed or race
Desiring a world beyond divisions, repeating the theme
Ooh, tell me it's not true
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of positive change
Tell me that people care enough to say
Desiring a world where people care enough to make sacrifices, repeating the theme
They'd give up everything for a day
Expressing the willingness to give up everything for positive change, repeating the theme
To make the world a better place oh, oh
Reiterating the theme of making the world a better place
Make the world a better place oh, oh
Repeating the desire to make the world a better place
To make the world a better place
Reiterating the theme of making the world a better place
