[Lyric] Everything Has Changed in the World (The Peace Philadelphia)

Leaders lying
And they turn their backs on love
And everything has changed
Everything has changed in the world

The earth keeps turning, where are we going?
Our hate is growing all around
The sky looks funny; the trees are falling
We spend all our money to bring them down

And everything has changed
Everything has changed in the world

We shall strive for perfection
We shall not achieve it immediately;
But we still shall strive
We may make mistakes
But they must never be mistakes
Which result from faintness of heart
Or abandonment of moral principle
People dying, children starving
The rich are lying and living high

And everything has changed
Everything has changed in the world
And everything has changed
Everything has changed in the world
