I wish I could sing a song,
a song that has the power to heal the world,
because the world is greatly wounded,
with indefinite fights and wars.

I wish I could sing a song,
a song that can save the life of a dying man,
as thousands of them are losing life,
to the swords and guns, grenades and bombs, uselessly fighting the wars that are never won.

I wish I could sing a song,
a song that can bring back the families together,
as millions are separated, broken, and left alone,
due to ceaseless fights and wars.

I wish I could sing a song,
a song that can bring back the lives lost,
because millions have sacrificed their lives fighting for peace, justice, and freedom.

I wish I could sing a song,
a song that can restore peace and prosperity,
as the world is shattered with violence, threat, and terrorism.

I wish I could sing a song,
a song that can feed the world,
as millions of people live in poverty,
and millions die of hunger.

I wish I could sing a song,
a song that can garner unity amongst diverse people,
hence, there will be no hatred, discrimination, and racism.

I wish I could sing a song,
a song that can spread happiness,
because unhappiness have overpowered everything,
making the lives miserable and painful to live.

I wish I could sing a song,
a song that can heal the world,
a song that can save a life,
a song that can unite broken families,
a song that can bring back lives lost,
a song that can restore peace and prosperity,
a song that can feed the world,
a song that can weave unity amongst diverse groups,
and a song that I can sing eternally for the goodness of the world.
