When Shall The World

When shall the world in splendour rise
To touch those sweet empyreal skies
Above all things in shadows cast
As captured there through years long passed

And when shall the world with eyes that see
Unite as one, in harmony,
To take his neighbour for his friend
All strife and warfare so to end

When shall the world with hearts that care
Provide for all, its wealth to share,
None to suffer deprivation
Plentiful for every nation

And when shall the world with love imbued
Be no more sad, no more subdued,
Let happiness surround each day
All sorrow thus to fade away

O when shall the world in full rejoice
E`er speak out loud with equal voice
Dance in peace and touch the flowers
To celebrate this world of ours
