Late last night I had a dream That the world was a perfect place Every street was filled with peace and love But then I woke and rubbed my eyes Thinking no trace of the night was left But all day long I've been saying to myself If you want a world that's more loving Then you've got to love somebody You want to be in world that's more caring Then reach out and help somebody You'll make the world a better place Beginning with you And if I say it loud enough Maybe somebody else will hear That love is still the greatest of all gifts And if we give ourselves in love The world will see a brighter place 'Cause it keeps time with every step we take If you want a world that's more loving Then you've got to love somebody You want to be in a world that's more caring Then reach out and help somebody You'll make the world a better place Before you are through To live in a world with more sharing You'll just have to do more giving If you want the earth filled with joyful noise Then open your heart and start singing Make this world a better place Beginning with you The world is you and the world is me And it will be what we make it Let's fill it up with so much love There won't be room enough to take it If you want a world that's more loving Then you've got to love somebody You want to be in a world that's more caring Then reach out and help somebody You'll make the world a better place Before you are through To live in a world with more sharing You'll just have to do more giving If you want the earth filled with joyful noise Then open your heart and start singing Make this world a better place Beginning with you If you want a world that's more loving Then you've got to love somebody You want to be in world that's more caring Then reach out and help somebody You'll make the world a better place Beginning with you Beginning with you
