"A Better World" Lyrics - The Limeliters

From the album Until We Get it Right - (1999)


Let those who want to fight, fight
From the ruins they may somehow build a better world
And choose as their companions those who share a love for living
And give more than they are given
 
Let those who want to live, live
Someday they may seek to build a better world
And choose as their companions those who share a love for living
And give more than they are given
 
I see children yet unborn
Homes yet untorn
Families full of faith in things unseen
I hear trumpets still unblown
Secrets still unknown
There’s a new flag of hope still unfurling
 
Let those who are laid to rest, rest
Who gave their lives to build a better world
Who lie with their companions who share their love for living
And gave far more than they were given
 
There are mountains still unclimbed
Poems still unrhymed
Promises of peace on the horizon
There are vows still unmade
Souls still unsaved
Though God is not dead nor is he dying
 
Let those who have a dream, dream
Together we could work to build a better world
Hand in hand with our companions who share our love for living
And give more than we are given.
Let us give more than we are given.
