Blank Sheets of Paper

copywrite: Donald M. Nivens Jr.

Did you ever hear a teardrop just as it touched the ground.

Did you see the eyes that shed them, or were they nowhere to be found

Did you ever see a soldier just as he hit the ground

With all the miles between us, you never heard a sound

Chorus:

Oh if the world could have peace for just one day

What a cool world it would be

If everyone loved everybody

Cause love had been set free

Oh the newspapers were blank sheets of paper

There was no Bad news today

No soldiers in a war zone waiting to be shot down

no shots were fired in anger, Or no robberies in town

And there were no hungry children There was food to go around

And nobody suffered heartache, No woman was beat down

by the man who was sworn to protect her…

Chorus:

Oh everybody spilled into the streets and they smiled at everyone they’d meet and homeless man was given a room on the richer side of town

And the brothers they were brothers and the sisters they were sisters and the heavens opened up and the light shined down on the people and every body sang

Everybody Love everybody, yeaheh everybody love everybody        

Everybody Love everybody, yeaheh everybody love everybody

Everybody Love everybody, yeaheh everybody love everybody

Everybody Love everybody, ayeahehyeahyeah ayeahehyeahehyeah

Ayeahehyeahehyeahyeah a yeahyeah

Oh if the world could find peace for just one day

What a cool world it would be

If everyone loved everybody

Cause love had been set free

Oh the newspapers were blank sheets of paper

There was no Bad news today

Oh the newspapers were blank sheets of paper
