  For Our World Poem by: Mattie Stepanek
Song Written by: Jimmy Nichols & David Malloy
  Originally performed by: n/a Search for audio clips of this song  

We need to stop, just stop
Stop for a moment
Before anybody says or does anything
That may hurt anyone else

We need to be silent, just silent
Silent for a moment
Before we forever lose the blessings of songs
That grow in our hearts

We need to notice, just notice
Notice for a moment
Before the future slips away
Into ashes and dust of humility

Stop, be silent, and notice
In so many ways we are the same
Our differences are unique treasures

We have, we are, a mosaic of gifts
To nuture, to offer, to accept
We need to be, just be
Be for a moment

Kind and gentle, innocent and trusting
Like children and lambs
Never judging or vengeful
Like the judging and the vengeful

And now let us pray
Differently, yet together
Before there is no Earth, no life
No chance for peace
Peace for our world...our world

I think this is one of his best songs on this album. This song has a nice beat to it and the words are very well put and meaningful. Its a great song.

In this song, we learn firsthand that it's ALWAYS important to stop and think before we do or say something that may deeply affect a person's feelings. If we know something negative about a person, we are so much better off keeping it to ourselves. Like Emily Dickinson quoted, "A word is dead when it is said." This song should give us all something to think about the next time we are tempted to blurt something rude out.

I love this song! This is a song that everyone can relate to. We really need to be careful with what we say to one another. I can't say that we don't deserve it but we all need to learn to love one another. People are more beautiful and their hearts are so precious for that to happen. They just don't realize it. Mattie took the words right out of my mouth in this poem! Billy and Mattie did such a good job! If we're just going to treat each other like nothing, then all we're doing is making our heart heard. We're more hard towards ourselves, then others.

I bought this CD the day it came out. I raced home and popped it into my CD player and sat back and heard... this song! What a way to open the CD!

I felt like I was listening to my own ideology in form of a song. It was like John Lennon's "Imagine". Some people listn to a song like this and think, 'Pft! How nice in theory but it could never work in the real world.' Little do they know that by putting a song like this one out there makes World Peace that much more tangible.
