I used to see
Fred's posts in my Facebook feed
Our inside jokes were once infinite
But years ago were spoiled by accusations
Gets his soundbyte fix
Sparring over politics
Feels satisfied with each new barb
But wonders why he's trapped in isolation
If we could land a man on the moon
Ask phones to name that tune
Why can't we make ourselves immune to hate's agenda
Someday mankind will solve poverty
Defeat inequality
But we'll fail if animosity is still raging
I have this dream
People from all different creeds
March to declare they've turned the page
Singing a prayer to peace and understanding
If we could land a man on the moon
Help the victims of typhoons
Why can't we make ourselves immune to hate's agenda
Someday mankind will solve poverty
Defeat inequality
But we'll fail if animosity is still raging
If you're worn down by the outrage
I hope you will not disengage
'Cause freedom's spirit is revoked when people won't show up to vote
If we could land a man on the moon
Send a probe to see Neptune
Why can't we make ourselves immune to hate's agenda
Someday mankind will solve poverty
Defeat inequality
But we'll fail if animosity is still raging
One day man will go to the stars
Light years beyond Mars
By then I hope we've healed the scars of our divisions
