The Best Feeling in the World

Peace
Like a waterfall rumbling as it spills over
Rippling waves hitting the shore
Skipping barefoot through a meadow
Dancing in the cool moist rain, alone
Going underwater and not hearing a word
Feeling the sun beat down on your head
Moving to the beat of your favorite song
In order to be a peaceful nation
We must move sand grains one at a time
And not try to move the whole mountain

In moving the sand grains
Little things will change
Over time, the mountain we humans built
With our hatred and prejudice will vanish
People will begin to hold hands
And sing songs together
The sky that is now gray
Will become clear and sunny 
As one we must
Begin to move the sand
So that the future will be
Peaceful for upcoming generations
