Greed has poisoned men's souls
It has barricaded the world with hate

We think too much and feel too little

I'm sorry but i don't want to be an emperor
That's not my business
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone

We have developed speed
But we have shut ourselves in
Machinery that gives abundance
Has left us in want

Our knowledge has made us cynical
Our cleverness hard and unkind

We think too much and feel too little
More than machinery we need humanity
More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness
Without these qualities, life will be violent

We all want to help one another
Human beings are like that

We all want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery

We think too much and feel too little
