Larnelle Harris Beginning With You Lyrics

Late last night I had a dream
That the world was a perfect place
Every street was filled with peace and love
But then I woke and rubbed my eyes
Thinking no trace of the night was left
But all day long I've been saying to myself

If you want a world that's more loving
Then you've got to love somebody
You want to be in world that's more caring
Then reach out and help somebody
You'll make the world a better place
Beginning with you

And if I say it loud enough
Maybe somebody else will hear
That love is still the greatest of all gifts
And if we give ourselves in love
The world will see a brighter place
'Cause it keeps time with every step we take

If you want a world that's more loving
Then you've got to love somebody
You want to be in a world that's more caring
Then reach out and help somebody
You'll make the world a better place
Before you are through
To live in a world with more sharing
You'll just have to do more giving If you want the earth filled with joyful noise
Then open your heart and start singing
Make this world a better place
Beginning with you

The world is you and the world is me
And it will be what we make it
Let's fill it up with so much love
There won't be room enough to take it

If you want a world that's more loving
Then you've got to love somebody
You want to be in a world that's more caring
Then reach out and help somebody
You'll make the world a better place
Before you are through
To live in a world with more sharing
You'll just have to do more giving
If you want the earth filled with joyful noise
Then open your heart and start singing
Make this world a better place
Beginning with you

If you want a world that's more loving
Then you've got to love somebody
You want to be in world that's more caring
Then reach out and help somebody
You'll make the world a better place
Beginning with you
Beginning with you
