All babies together, everyone a seed Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need Love´s bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed When will there be a harvest for the world A nation planted, so concerned with gain As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain And far too many feelin´ the strain When will there be a harvest for the world Gather everyman, gather everywoman Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children Gather everyone, gather all together Overlooking none, hopin´ life gets better for the world Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least Nation after nation, turning into beast When will there be a harvest for the world
