by Gary Chapman, Jerry McPherson
There`s a girl in Birmingham with her heart about to break
How could he fall for another
There`s a girl in Tokyo, she has married her mistake
Maybe she`ll run home to mother
Hearts break the same in each country
Tears fall alike `round the world
CHORUS:
Around the world we`re all hopin`, prayin`
Our little world survives with our lives
Around the world hear this message sayin`
Our little world can live when we learn to forgive
There`s a boy in Lebanon with his hand around a gun
Learning to die for his homeland
There`s a boy in San Antone, he is learnin` how to run
Having to live from his own hand
Each one has fear as his passion
Every young man wants to live
(REPEAT CHORUS)
There`s a man in Washington with a power in his hand
God only knows if he`ll use it
There`s a fear across the waves
There`s a fear across our land
Only God`s gonna help us all to lose it
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
