Peter, Paul and Mary - Of This World Lyrics

(Becca Christel / Tracey Spring / Janis Carper)

I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
With my head, my heart and my hand

With my eyes I can see
The way things are and they way they could be
Hope and vision call to me
Bringing life new meaning

I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
With my head, my heart and my hand

With my heart I can feel
The ebb and flow of life revealed
Pain and sorrow all will heal
With love and true compassion

I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
With my head, my heart and my hand

With my hands and with my sweat
I will do what's not done yet
With tenderness and no regret
Embrace the work before me

I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
With my head, my heart and my hand

I will not turn my head
I will not close my heart
I will not still my hands
Until my work is done

I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
I can ease the suffering of this world
With my head, my heart and my hand
