As fast as I can
Running on, on and on
...
However you say the name,
Mom, Mum, Momma, Mommy,
We all feel the same.
...
I present these lyrics today,
For you to consider if you would,
An idea I propose, to find a way
To designate a day for doing good.
...
Wars and rumors of war
it is said will be forevermore.
If that is the fate of mankind,
what are we to do?
