Is there still any hope here or am I too late?

The person that you hate the most
Lord what's happenin'
To this human race?
I can't even see
One friendly face
Brothers fight brothers
And sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues
Bear fruits of poison lies
Just take a look
At your children born innocent
Every boy and every girl
Denyin' themselves a real chance
To build a better world
Dear Lord dear Lord
What's happenin'
To Your precious dream?
It's washin' away
On a bloody bloody stream
Take a look at Your children
Before it's too late
And tell them nobody wins
When the prize is hate

But I wanna say
That I've had my griefs
Oh, and I've had my cares
And just a good word
Soft and gentle
Makes it, makes it easier
Easier to bear
Now, I might forget it
Oh, but don't let me forget it
Love's all ym whole
Whole happiness
Mmm, and it's so, so easy
Try a little
Oh, try a little tenderness
Tender, tender, tenderness
