We need to respect,
To make our world perfect,
That is not a decision,
Because if we decide don’t (not) to respect, that is going to cause a division.
Respect represents kindness,
And ignoring it represents blindness,
Respect is something we can’t ignore,
If we want peace instead of war.
Being smart doesn’t mean I’m better,
Even if I wear a prettier sweater,
I understand everyone learns in their way,
And I don’t know if you will learn faster today.
Respect is not a game that we play for some seconds,
It's not about break records,
It's the most important value in the world,
That is going to win the war.
Treat others as you would like to be treated,
And you can say you were never defeated,
Because you have respect,
And that makes you perfect.
