The Onion Song
Bob & Marcia Lyrics

The world is just a great big onion
The world is complex and has many layers, just like an onion.

And pain and fear are the spices that make you cry
Pain and fear are emotions that cause tears, like the way spices make your eyes water.

Oh, and the only way to get rid of this great big onion
The only way to solve the problems of the world is to address them directly.

Is to plant love seeds until it dies, uh huh
The solution to the world's problems is to spread love and kindness wherever you go.

Hey world! We got a great big job to do
We all have a responsibility to make the world a better place.

Yeah, we need you
We need everyone's help to make a difference.

And everybody who loves truth
Those who value honesty and integrity should participate in this effort.

Don't you know we've got to clean up this place
There are many issues in the world that need to be addressed and resolved.

And reach far high and oh yeah
We need to aim high and dream big to make a real impact.

Yes we do
This is a very important task that we can't afford to ignore.

We gotta be headstrong about rightin' the wrong
We need to be determined and focused to correct the injustices in the world.

And make a mountain of happy souls, oh; Oh
The ultimate goal is to create a world where everyone can be happy and fulfilled.

And I don't care, it's the face people like to wear Yes it is now
People often put on a facade to hide their true feelings and struggles.

Every one single soul's got to do their share Tell about it, baby!
Everyone needs to contribute and take responsibility in order to create positive change.

So come on, let's knock on every door Tell them love is the answer
We need to spread the message of love and encourage others to join us in this effort.

Whether they're rich or poor, oh yeah
It doesn't matter what someone's socioeconomic status is, everyone can make a difference.

For we don't care what you do How you look, or your status claim, baby No no, because brothers and sisters From now on, is gonna be everyone's name, oh oh
We are all connected and we need to treat each other with love and respect, regardless of our differences.

Now everybody, got to plant love seeds Come on and plant love seeds Until it dies
We need to continue spreading love and kindness until it becomes a natural part of our world.

The world is just a great big onion
The world is complex and has many layers, just like an onion.
