Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.

All you need is love. I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.

There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.

They hit you at school, they hate you if your clever, and they despise a fool.

And so this is Xmas for black and for white, for yellow and red, let's stop all the fight.

Without a job all there is to life is boredom and insecurity.
