Compassion Tune-up - World

It's time for a compassion tune-up. There are a lot of mean-spirited people saying unkind things on social media these days, so let's remember that we create the world we live in through our choices.

Enjoy this song, World, from Five for Fighting, also known as the one-man show, John Ondrasik. Lyrics are below.



Got a package full of wishes A time machine, a magic wand A globe made out of gold No instructions or commandments, Laws of gravity or indecisions to uphold Printed on the box I see: ACME's Build a World to Be Take a chance, grab a piece Help me to believe it What kind of world do you want? Think anything Let's start at the start Build a masterpiece Be careful what you wish for History starts now ... Should there be people or peoples Money, funny pedestals For fools who never pay Raise your army, choose your steeple Don't be shy, the satellites can look the other way Lose the earthquakes, keep the faults Fill the oceans without the salt Let every man own his own hand. Can you dig it, Baby? What kind of world do you want? Think anything Let's start at the start Build a masterpiece Be careful what you wish for History starts now ... Sunlight's on the bridge Sunlight's on the way Tomorrow's calling There's more to this than love What kind of world do you want?
What kind of world do you want? 

What kind of world do you want? 
Think anything Let's start at the start Build a masterpiece History starts now Starts now 

Be careful what you wish for Start now Now...
