Better Place
Shloime Gertner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something happening today
What's going on
Why can't we simply find our way
There's a reason for the madness,
Heartache & the sadness – change it now
If you see it and you feel it
Say it and believe it – here and how
Coz the world is a better place
Yes i know that it can truly be
If we only just realize
There's no difference between you & me
Yes today is a better day
As we treat each other right from wrong
In a world of togetherness
Life is better when we get along
Oh oh oh
Don't judge a man,
Coz he sins differently than you
Don't put him down
Coz he's a different type of Jew
Stand tall & deny it
Together we can fight it – change it now
We can overcome the madness
Heartache & the sadness – here and now
Coz the world is a better place
Yes i know that it can truly be
If we only just realize
There's no difference between you & me
Yes today is a better day
As we treat each other right from wrong
In a world of togetherness
Life is better when we get along
Oh oh oh
We were blessed as a people, who know what's good from bad
Each and every being, has something they can add
Let us find some common ground, it's what always gets us through
and we can carry on, carry on all this I promise you
Coz the world is a better place
Yes i know that it can truly be
If we only just realize
There's no difference between you & me
Yes today is a better day
As we treat each other right from wrong
In a world of togetherness
Life is better when we get along
Oh oh oh

כל פעם מפתיע מחדש. אין לי מילים. רק שהפושעים ילכו הביתה. אין לי כבר סבלנות. הורסים את כל המדינה.
שנשמע בשבוע הבא בשורות טובות.
לילה טוב
וחלומות פז
