and to say we want to make it a better place for our children
4
and our children's children so that they know it's a better world for them
5
and think they can make it a better place.

There's a place in your heart and I know that it is love and this place is brighter than tomorrow
7
and if you really try you'll find there's no need to cry I feel there's no hurt or sorrow.
8
There are ways to get there.

If you care enough for the living Make a little space Make a better place Heal the world
10
Make it a better place
11
For you and for me And the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living,
12
make a better place for you than for me.
13
If you want to know why there's a love that cannot lie.
14
Love is strong and only cares for joyful giving.
15
If we try, we shall see in this bliss we cannot feel.
16
There are dreams, we'll stop existing and start living Then it feels that always,
17
love's enough, hope is growing Make a better world,
18
make a better world Heal the world,
19
make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying,
20
if you care enough for living Make a better place for you and for me
21
And the dream we were in this evening Will reveal a joyful face
22
And the world we once believed Will shine again in grace
23
Then why do we keep strangling me Though his third crucified soul Though his plainness is filled with heaven We could fly
24
We can fly so high, let our spirits never die In my heart,
25
I feel you are all my brothers Create a world with no fear,
26
together we'll cry happy tears So the nations turn their swords into plowshares
27
We could really get there if you cared enough for the living Make a little space to make a better place
28
Kill the world, make it a better place
29
For you and for me and the entire human race There are equal lives if you cared enough for the living
30
Make a better place for you and for me You the world,
31
make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There are my feelings of rights
32
If you care about the living Make a better place for you and for me In the world,
33
make it a better place For you and for me and the anti-human race There are no new life for me,
34
you can't love for me, make a better place for you and for me.
35
There are no new life for me, you can't love for me,
36
make a better place for you and for me.
37
They're the one who is the one who cares about the world

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.
