That's All This Old World Needs

That's all this ol' world needs, that's all this ol' world needs . . . A little more love an' sweet devotion, a little less hate an' wild commotion, that's all this world needs . . .

That's all this ol' world needs, that's all this ol' world needs . . . A little more truth an' 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 brothers need, a little more laughter, a little more song, an' a world where people know right from wrong . . .

That's all this ol' world needs, that's all this ol' world needs . . . The innocence of children everywhere, the peacefulness of an evening prayer, that's all this world needs . . . < instrumental break > A little less envy, a little less greed, a little more lookin' to your brothers need, a little more laughter, a little more song, an' a world where people know right from wrong . . .

That's all this ol' world needs, that's all this ol' world needs . . . The innocence of children everywhere, the peacefulness of an evening prayer, that's all this world needs . . . < repeat last verse > that's all this world needs . . .
