1
There's a place in your heart, and I know that it is love.
2
A place that's brighter than tomorrow.
3
And if you really try, you'll find there's no need to cry.
4
A place that feels there's no hurt or sorrow.
5
Make a little space, make a better place You're the one who's making a better place
6
For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying,
7
if you care and I'm not living Make a better place for you and for me
8
If you want to know why there's a love that cannot lie Love is strong,
9
it only cares for joyful giving If we try,
10
we shall see in this bliss we cannot feel We're afraid we'll stop existing and start living
11
Love enough for us growin' Make a better world,
12
make a better world, you go in love,

14
And the dream we were conceived and we'll reveal the joyful face
15
And the world we want to live and we'll shine again in grace
16
Then why do we keep strangling when this earth crucify its soul?
17
Though it's plain as if this world is heavenly,
18
be God's love Never die in my heart I feel you are all my brothers
19
Create a world with no fear Together we'll cry happy tears
20
And see the nations turn their swords into plowshares We could really get there If you get enough of the living

You alone, make it a better place For you and for me and me,
22
our human race There are people dying, if you care enough for the living,

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
