Title---- Wishful thinking-----By Allan P Stevens - Watching this broken world today All this hate and deep mistrust I wish all leaders could find a way To kick false ideals into touch Place them all in a great big box Buried so deep no-one can undo Well, I know its wishful thinking But, let’s work to make it true - Religious bigotry inside their head Every faith must make a stand Ask if humanity has been misled Covering us all in shifting sand? Do gospel teachings heal the pain? Of those in darkness on their own Well, I know its wishful thinking But, let’s work to reclaim our soul - The soldier man with his gun in hand Will stand and fight to kill the foe He takes his orders from the man Whose name he does not know He don’t ask questions, he just obeys As politicians would destroy us all Well, I know its wishful thinking But, the war machine must fall - There are good men with great ideas Most of which never shall be heard Those in charge, paranoid with fear Refuse to listen to a single word Hiding behind doors in ivory towers They no longer see what’s real Well, I know its wishful thinking But, we all deserve a better deal - I know its wishful thinking We all deserve a better deal -
