On-screen text
there's a place in your heart
and I know that it is love
and this place could be brighter than tomorrow
and if you really try
you'll find there's no need to cry
in this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow
there are ways to get there
if you care enough for the living
make a little space
make a better place
heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me and the entire human race
there are people down here
if you a better place
for you but not for the living
make a better place for you and for me
