[... prelude ...]
1.
Round the world,
hunger war and crime around the World.
All over the world.
Oh, why can't we get a peaceful world.
What the people build so clever,
war so swift is blowing down.
Don't we dare to dream that ever,
people live in peace the whole world around.
Fights so cruel and cold for silver and gold – and goods.
But it's from the Soil in fields we shall grow our food.
If we are all working tough, – we can all get enough,
to live healthy and happy together in peace, with peace.
If all the people work for this case,
can our World be a nice peaceful place.
2.
Crime so cruel,
why do people break the legal rules?
violence so cruel,
why don't people know the humane rules
cheating, stealing and exploiting,
keeping norms of moral down.
Gangsters, gamblers, much are spoiling.
oh alas, how long shall this still go on.
With fights cruel an cold, for silver and gold – and goods.
Destroying the mould so fields don't give proper food.
If we are all working tough, – we can all get enough,
to live healthy and happy together in peace, with peace.
If all the people work for this case,
can our World be a nice peaceful place.
3.
On this Earth,
where we all are members by our birth.
On this globe, the Earth
fights and crime makes hunger worse, still worse.
Where just all wants higher living, never seem to get enough.
Big pollution problems giving,
where we still are making enemy blocks.
On this globe now it's time, to stop all the fight and crime.
And to use all our wealth, to improve people's food and health.
If we are all working tough, – we can all get enough,
to live healthy and happy together in peace, with peace.
If all the people work for this case,
can our World be a nice peaceful place.
