Free The World
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor.
That's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone - if possible
Jew, Gentile - black man - white.
We all want to help one another.
Human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other's happiness not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone.
And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls,
has barricaded the world with hate,
has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
More than machinery we need humanity.
More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost .
To those who can hear me,
I say - do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed
- the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,
And the power they took from the people will return to the people.
INSTRUMENTAL
Soldiers! don't give yourselves to
brutes, men who despise you - enslave you
who regiment your lives - tell you what
to do - what to think and what to feel!
Who drill you - diet you - treat you
like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men
machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate!
Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
"the Kingdom of God is within man" - not one man nor a group of men,
but in all men! In you!
You, the people have the power - the power to create machines.
The power to create happiness!
You, the people,
have the power to make this life free and
beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let
us use that power - let us all unite.
That's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone - if possible
Jew, Gentile - black man - white.
