about

We would be wise to remember that we live in a global world and what affects one part of the world affects us all.

Many people living in the southern hemisphere lack basic things like: enough food to eat, clean drinking water, decent housing, a peaceful and safe environment to raise their families. Most people in the northern hemisphere take these basic human needs for granted.

Look around the world to see what we must do to bring about equality and fairness.

lyrics

Look Around The World by S Laffy, J Flinter & R. Hopkins

Intro/Chorus
Look around the world, look around the world
Open up your eyes and you just might see
People who still want to be free
Yes there’s people who still want to be free, like you and me.

Verse 1
Everyone deserves to have, life and liberty
Can you hear a call from around the world
“Please share, please care, can anybody hear us out there
Is the wind going to blow, is the crop going to grow
Is the rain going to fall today
Can we live without fear, will our families be near
Must we go or can we stay
Look around of turn away”

Chorus
Look around the world, look around the world
Open up your eyes and you just might see
People who still want to be free
Yes there’s people who still want to be free, like you and me.

Verse 2
Everybody born to this world has reason for being here
Can we see the signs all around the world
To find, in out time, something that will make us shine
Why did life put us here, why is nature so dear
Are we proud of what we’ve done today
What it is we can give helping others to live
Did we hear when the people say, look around of turn away

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Is there anybody, anybody, anybody hear me out there
Is there anybody, anybody, anybody caring for humanity


Repeat Chorus x 2 till end
