A Better Place

Is it uncommon to want to love
People who're in need of love, love
Is it uncommon to want to care
For people who're in need of care, care
Is it uncommon to want to help,
People who're in need of help
Is it uncommon to want to feel
For others while they're in despair, hey yeah

But oh, tell me it's not so
Tell me the world can be a better place
Beyond colour creed or race
Ooh, tell me it's not true
Tell me I'll find a world where people say
They'd give up everything for a day
To make the world a better place

Is it uncommon to succeed
Having paid a life of dues
Is it uncommon to have seen
Yourself in someone else's shoes
Is it uncommon to believe
In someone's sense of charity
Is it uncommon to live our lives
Free of all hypocrisy

Oh, tell me it's not so
Tell me the world can be a better place
Beyond colour creed or race
Ooh, tell me it's not true
Tell me that people care enough to say
They'd give up everything for a day

There's so much we can do to make a better place
(Make the world a better place)
If we could give of ourselves unconditionally
Maybe then our souls would have a better chance
At eternity

Oh, tell me it's not so
Tell me the world can be a better place
Beyond colour creed or race
Ooh, tell me it's not true
Tell me that people care enough to say
They'd give up everything for a day
To make the world a better place oh, oh
Make the world a better place oh, oh
To make the world a better place
