ORIGINAL:

VERSE -  A F#m D E (spoken)

We could be living in paradise

Without war, hate, or money

Instead we made a prison

Outta materialism

But the way to freedom is simple

It's selfless service to others

Serve everyone you meet

In every way you can think of

But without love - service is work

So love everyone you meet

And live with joy in your heart

And climb out of the pit of ignorance

BRIDGE

Act now to build a new world

By putting love in action

Go on your way and joy in your heart SERVE

VERSE (spoken)

No more monasteries

No meditating in the wilderness

No retreats into serenity

To turn from our own feelings
