Is paradise possible in our space in time

Is peace something that we will know, something that we will find

Innocent people die at the hands of a self proclaimed hero

In Oklahoma the hopes of babies are reduced to futures of zero

And meanwhile in distant foreign lands

Brothers and sisters fight in our motherlands, in dark rooms power

changes hands

Guns and bombs become the alternative to talking and thinking

Young people are being sucked in and destroyed by violence, drugs and drinking

Is paradise really possible in our world today

Maybe through love and compassion we can find a better way

The fear and greed of our forefathers has threatened to leave a legacy

of pain

The once fertile fields of the future will be bare and the seeds swept

away by tears that will fall like rain

Our life's blood will run colder than the worst winter snow

Unless we wake up and learn from one another, unless we begin to grow

There's no longer room for prejudice, fear and hate

We are all literally on the verge of Heaven's gate

Because our lives are a mere second in the Kingdom Above

So what would you like to do with your moment in the light...hate or

love

Love will take you to place that your mind couldn't ever conceive of

Hate will trap you in a prison that's worse than any walls that you can

dream of

So what is your choice, decide now before you move on

Because it will decide your tomorrows and instantly pave the path you

will follow your whole life long......

Your tomorrow...is your choice.
