(Bob Tubert - Demetrius Tapp)

That's all this old world needs that's all this old world needs
A little more love and sweet devotion a little less hate and wild commotion
That's all this world needs.

That's all this old world needs that's all this old world needs
A little more truth and no more lies and only rain fallin' from the skies
That's all this world needs.

A little less envy a little less greed
A little more lookin' to your brother's need
A little more laughter a little more song
In a world where the people know right from wrong.

That's all this old world needs that's all this old world needs
Innocence of children everywhere the peacefulness of an evening prayer
That's all this world needs.

A little less envy a little less greed
A little more lookin' to your brother's need
A little more laughter a little more song
In a world where the people know right from wrong.

That's all this old world needs that's all this old world needs
A little more love and sweet devotion a little less hate and wild commotion
That's all this world needs.

That's all this old world needs that's all this old world needs
Innocence of children everywhere the peacefulness of an evening prayer
That's all this world needs...
