MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE

Going to a party at my neighbor's house today
The people that I meet inside I know what they'll say
"Welcome to the future, the past is memories"
Come on to a party at my nieghbors house with me.

And when we get inside this house
I know what we will find
Answers to a question that's been
Trapped inside our minds
No one is invited who doesn't give up hate
Don't come in with greed or envy
Leave them at the gate.

Going to a party when old enemies shake hands
Going to a party when all at last are free.
Going to a party when the world at last unites
Come on to a party at my neighbors house with me.

And when we get inside this house
I know what we will find
Answers to a question that's been
Trapped inside our minds
No one is invited who doesn't give up hate
Don't come in with greed or envy
Leave them at the gate.

Going to a party with no bombs and no tanks
Going to a party for all races and creed of man
Going to a party with every nation friends
Going to a party that I hope will never end.

Siebra:
Wondrously conceived. Beautiully written. Full of Hope and commuity. That is the kind of world I would like to live in--with my brothers and sisters.
Let us all strive to make it real wherever we are!!!
Thank you Siebra!!!
