HOW NICE THIS WORLD WOULD BE

How nice this world would be
If only the people we meet would say
I know something Good about you
And then treat us just that way.

How nice this world would be
If each hand clap is warm and true
Carrying with it this lasting say
That I know something good about you.

Shall we not be a happier lot
If the good that is in us all
Is the only one thought about
By one and all as they recall.

Will not this life be a lot more real
If only we praised the good we see
Of this we have enough to spare
Even in the worst of you and me.

Will it then not be nice to say
In a fitting manner and pleasant way
You know something good about me
I know something good about you.

I know the goodness in you
You know the goodness in me
Then why pray we fail to see
What can make our world as it should be.
