The person standing next to you
You don't know what they're going through
So why are we so quick to judge
When we really don't know that much
What if all of us opened up and see
Another point of view a different melody
I say oh
And the road that we've been walking on
Is not a perfect road but not the only one
I say oh
We are a world of
Beautiful people
We are world of
Different but equals
Love without a gavel
And watch hate unravel
We are a world
Of beautiful people
Made from the dust
We're broken cathedrals
Love love love
Just love
A different story for all of us
We see the world from different views
So when you feel the need to be the Judge
Walk a mile In their shoes
We are a world of
Beautiful people
We are world of
Different but equals
Love without a gavel
And watch hate unravel
We are a world
Of beautiful people
Made from the dust
We're broken cathedrals
Love love love
Just love
So what if we stopped pointing fingers
We admit we're all just sinners
I believed we could change the world
I believe we could change the world
