This song by Bette Midler, was a huge hit for her. As a humanities major, and a deep emotional person I had to know more about this song. Yes its about the world and getting to know it.
Yet I don't think many people know its true intent or what the writer intended it to be.
It is about humanity in general, and also a world of what could be, if we only gave little things to change.
The song sets up a desperate dream for "there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease. No hungry mouths to feed." it is a dream everyone wants for the better of ourselves and for the world. "its the heart of every man." We all need this hope even though it cannot come to pass, "From a distance, You look like my friend, even though we are at war."
This song is making us aware, and crying out to have us try harder, and try to make the dream happen. This song has carried with me through the years, and still shows the message it intends, no matter what date. Time has been powerless against this song. And it will remain one of the best songs for us all.
