It's These Kinds Of Things

(Peace Topic Chosen By Contest Organizers )

 

Every culture has its artists,

Has its music and its songs.

Every culture has its thinkers

Contemplating rights and wrongs.

 

Chorus:

These kinds of things hold us together;

These kinds of things unite us in peace

And when we are wise, we'll all empathize

With love in our hearts, the hatred will cease.

 

Every culture has a language,

Has its fashions and its styles.

Every culture has its frowns,

And every culture has its smiles.

 

Chorus

 

Every culture has its idols,

Who are worshipped and adored.

Put them in another culture,

Chances are they'd be ignored

 

Chorus

 

Every culture's had its lovers,

Has its present and its past,

But only if we work together

Can we see these cultures last.
