Around the World
There's a girl in Birmingham
With her heart about to break
How could he fall for another
There's a girl in Tokyo
She has married her mistake
Maybe she'll run home to mother
Hearts break the same in each country
Tears fall alike 'round the world

Around the world, we're all hopin', prayin'
Our little world survives with our lives
Around the world, hear this message sayin'
Our little world can live
When we learn to forgive

There's a boy in Lebanon
With his hand around a gun
Learning to die for his homeland
There's a boy in San Antone
He is learnin' how to run
Having to live from his own hand
Each one has fear as his passion
Every young man wants to live
Around the world, we're all hopin', prayin'
Our little world survives with our lives
Around the world, hear this message sayin'
Our little world can live
When we learn to forgive

There's a man in Washington
With a power in his hand
God only knows if he'll use it
There's a fear across the waves
There's a fear across our land
Only God's gonna help us all to lose it

Around the world, we're all hopin', prayin'
Our little world survives with our lives
Around the world, hear this message sayin'
Our little world can live

Around the world, we're all hopin', prayin'
Our little world will survive with our lives
Around the world, hear this message sayin'
Our little world will live
When we learn to forgive
