all of this: When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

Answer 65

When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again

Answer 66

When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last man dies for just words that he said

We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again

Answer 67

When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
