[Verse 1]
Some people live each week in fun and play
From sweat by you, child, and me
While we must toil so long each day
Just to stay alive and free

[Verse 2]
Some people live in homes, so content and reposed
Unrushed through all the woe
While we share that woe with those
Who have no woe at all

[Verse 3]
Some people live with much and care the least
If war should end or stay
While we, with less, pay most for peace
Mmm, why should it be this way?

[Verse 4]
Oh, the day sure will come when will have to live
In love and peace and happiness
And we will have the will to love and to give
To those who do have less
