"U" is for Unity

Jenny Matlock
I pray each and everyday for peace and unity
for the whole wide world, not just for you and me
I wish everyone could see what others see
and bring a better sense of community

Through strangers eyes I would like to see
to know how others view you and me
To know their view of world peace
of the end of war,famine and disease

Through my own eyes I wish that they could see
to know we're not so different, them and me
That I only long for a better world in which to be
to live,laugh and grow my family

I pray each and everyday for peace and unity
for the whole wide world, not just you and me
