Lyrics
Chorus:
Everybody just ... tell the people it's all about love
Spread the wealth ... thank the good Lord's Son
Tell the children there's no room for hate; share the planet and the supper plate
There's enough for everyone; give your heart and the world ... becomes one ... becomes one
Verse:
See the land is good ... and the crops grow tall; the harvest should ... be enough for all
But the food is sent ... to a faraway place
And the children wait for the scraps to fall ... from the side of the rich man's plate
Chorus:
Everybody just ... tell the people it's all about love
Spread the wealth ... thank the good Lord's Son
Tell the children there's no room for hate; share the planet and the supper plate
There's enough for everyone; give your heart and the world ... becomes one ... becomes one
Verse:
See the poor man beg ... 'cause he has no choice; the work don't pay ... and he has no voice
To call for a change ... and his pride's too strong
So he stands on the street with his two young boys ... ignored as the world moves on
Chorus:
Everybody just ... tell the people it's all about love
Spread the wealth ... thank the good Lord's Son
Tell the children there's no room for hate; share the planet and the supper plate
There's enough for everyone; give your heart and the world ... becomes one ... becomes one
Bridge:
Well, the calf and the lion will lie together
And the child will play with the snake
In a paradise ... today is forever
Tomorrow is a dream that never goes away ... so ...
Chorus:
Tell the people it's all about love; share the wealth ... thank the good Lord's Son
Spread the wealth ... thank the good Lord's Son
Tell the children there's no room for hate; share the planet and the supper plate
There's enough for everyone; give your heart and the world ... becomes one ... becomes one
The world becomes one (repeat and fade)
