Am I the one that is so naive, do I suffer from tunnel vision,
So people can live in unison, instead of bitterness and division.
Or am I asking for too much, that man can hold another's hand,
Be part of a universal family, to live in peace and share a land.
Australia has a unique standing, a place of tolerance and sharing,
Treating everyone as their mate, seeing acceptance is part of caring,
The world is not a pleasant place, with many wars and political strife,
Please don't import your animosity, or make it Australia's way of life,
Trouble continues in the Middle East, gun massacres in the U S of A,
Countries not interested in creating peace, disarmament doesn't pay,
Fundamentalists not concerned with beliefs, if it contradicts it's own,
Extremist created by internal subjugation, in hardship they are grown,
This is a country that leads the world, with what harmony and spirit can do,
Show the blind a peaceful way, guiding the path of understanding for you,
So in my naivety I still believe, that basically mankind still craves for peace,
Lay down you arms and prejudices, if you really want the violence to cease
