Through My Sister's Eyes (mp3)
She paints of sunshine
And bright green salads
Her flowers illuminate
The happiest ballads
The world, to her
Is a magical domain
An everlasting bounty
From which we all obtain
With equal values
We can share this golden platter
Our inner and outer differences
Don't have to matter
The riches need not flounder
Instead the suffering succeed
She sees a future of abundance
Rather than need
Wars can be settled with words
Weapons only harm
Bullets and bombs lead to death
Another harsh alarm
The majority seek good
And she believes the best
We can all unite as one
If we share the treasure chest
The worldly conflicts can be settled
With each hand lending
The Earth has been improving
And she doesn't see this ending
Plastic bags and candy-wrappers
Can easily be cleared
She's sure we can stop the environment
From becoming what we've feared
Her vision blocks out storms
Only welcomes the clearest skies
If only the whole world
Could see through my sister's eyes
