Blank Sheets of Paper

Blank Sheets of Paper
copywrite: Donald M. Nivens Jr.

Did you ever hear a teardrop just as it touched the ground.
Did you see the eyes that shed them, or were they nowhere to be found
Did you ever see a soldier just as he hit the ground
With all the miles between us, you never heard a sound

Chorus:
Oh if the world could have peace for just one day
What a cool world it would be
If everyone loved everybody
Cause love had been set free
Oh the newspapers were blank sheets of paper
There was no Bad news today

No soldiers in a war zone waiting to be shot down
no shots were fired in anger, Or no robberies in town
And there were no hungry children There was food to go around
And nobody suffered heartache, No woman was beat down
by the man who was sworn to protect her…

Chorus:

Oh everybody spilled into the streets and they smiled at everyone they’d meet and homeless man was given a room on the richer side of town
And the brothers they were brothers and the sisters they were sisters and the heavens opened up and the light shined down on the people and every body sang
Everybody Love everybody, yeaheh everybody love everybody
Everybody Love everybody, yeaheh everybody love everybody
Everybody Love everybody, yeaheh everybody love everybody
Everybody Love everybody, ayeahehyeahyeah ayeahehyeahehyeah
Ayeahehyeahehyeahyeah a yeahyeah

Oh if the world could find peace for just one day
What a cool world it would be
If everyone loved everybody
Cause love had been set free
Oh the newspapers were blank sheets of paper
There was no Bad news today
Oh the newspapers were blank sheets of paper
