Treat Each Other Right - Greg Brown

One of these nights, I wouldn’t be surprised

If even the old moon had to close her pretty eye —

We got so evil, I feel troubled tonight

This old world brought us all here

So why can’t we treat each other right

I was watching the TV in a motel and I had to turn away

Somebody killed a bunch of children, said it was about their godly way

My friend had a dream, it about made me cry

He said he saw two stone Buddhas rising where those towers had filled the sky

Peace on earth, when will it ever be in sight?

This old world is everybody’s beautiful home

So why can’t we treat each other right

If everyone is praying to whatever gods there may be

I’d say we all better pray to each other for forgiveness before we lose our

sanity

We got so evil…
