That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
A little more love and sweet devotion
A little less hate and wild commotion
That's all this world needs

That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
A little more truth and no more lies
And only rain fallin' from the skies
That's all this world needs

A little less envy, a little less greed
A little more lookin' to your brother's need
A little more laughter a little more song
In a world where people know right from wrong

That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
The innocence of children everywhere
The peacefulness of an evening prayer
That's all this world needs

A little less envy, a little less greed
A little more lookin' to your brother's need
A little more laughter a little more song
In a world where people know right from wrong

That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
A little more love and sweet devotion
A little less hate and wild commotion
That's all this world needs

That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
The innocence of children everywhere
The peacefulness of an evening prayer
That's all this world needs
