The Path We Tread

The people of this earth
Have the power in their hand
To shape the ground they live on,
And dictate where they stand

That's what makes this world so beautiful;
It's what makes each human unique.
It's what has caused us to create wonders
And create new life as we speak

So I ask, why sink in the negative
When you can be lifted in all the light?
Why see solely the darkness
When there is so much love in sight?

If you want to make a change, you can!
That's why this world is ours.
That's what makes this life so awesome
Why we can't waste a single hour.

So instead of hating the steps you take,
Change your course instead.
Live in the love that is spoken here;
Make happiness the path you tread

The earth is awesome because we make it;
If it's not, then we can change it.
We can shape the ground we live on
And dictate what we make it.
