For everyone who's determined to destroy,
There's always someone with energy and joy.
For everyone who hurts and steals,
There's always someone who hugs and heals.
For everyone who batters and binds,
There's always someone who's incredibly kind.
For everyone who seldom bends,
There's always someone who generously lends.
For everyone who brings you pain,
There's always someone who'll show you the gain.
For everyone who pollutes and spoils,
There's always someone who'll labor and toil.
For everyone who's quick to reject,
There's always someone who'll show you respect.
For everyone who's not involved,
There's always someone with clear resolve.
For everyone who never shares,
There's always someone with compassionate care.
