Lyrics
SOMETIMES, IT'S JUST SO HARD TO BEAR --
NO-ONE, THERE'S NO-ONE SEEMS TO CARE.
QUARRELS, FIGHTING,
JUST EVERYWHERE.
KINDNESS,
NO-ONE'S WILLING TO SHARE.
IF ONLY, ONLY WE COULD STAY
WORKING TOGETHER,
THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY,
CARING, SHARING, HOW IT SHOULD BE --
NONE OF THIS FIGHTING,
THIS MISERY.
CAN'T YOU, OH CAN'T YOU ALL
SEE WHAT WE COULD BECOME?
IF ONLY, ONLY
WE WORKED AS ONE?
IF CARING AND KINDNESS,
AND TRUST WE ALL TRIED,
THEN NO-ONE WOULD EVER BE
LEFT HURTING INSIDE.
IF ONLY WE ALL KNEW HOW.
IF ONLY IT WERE NOW.
