Heal the World...

The world would be a better place if everyone spoke the same language. Discuss.

I think the person who came up with this question must have been thinking of this song when he set it.

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills Oh, peace throughout the land

(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (that the world sings today)
In perfect harmony

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (that the world sings today)
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills Oh, peace throughout the land


Or the Coke version with people holding candles, crossing arms and swaying...although theoretically they're the same...

Now, my greatest fear is some idealistic naive clown goes "Yes, if the entire world spoke the language of LOVE, the world would definitely be a better place!" Then we're screwed. And the markers would be laughing wee wee wee all the way home!

*Incidently, the song was also sung by Lea Salonga.

SOMEONE was very, painfully, insanely bored during invigilation today. Guess who? (:
