A Song for the Masses

I want to write a song
a song to end all wars
a song to heal all scars
a song to open fresh ones
and one to celebrate greatness.

I want to write a song
a song that will never fade away
a song that will not die with age
a song that will stay
with you and me, always.

I want to write a song
a song that will bring people near
a song that the kids will play
a song to turn your knees to clay
one that the gods will fear.

I want to write a song
a song to wake you up
a song to make it up
a song to break your heart
and mine, just by the way.
