The world is needing you and me,
In places where we ought to be;
Somewhere today it's needing you
To stand for what you know is true,
And needing me somewhere today
To keep the faith, let come what may.
The world needs honest men today
To lead its youth along the way,
Men who will write in all their deeds
The beauty of their spoken creeds,
And spurn advantage here and gain,
On which deceit must leave its stain.
