We are children of the world,
We must unite and live as one,
Putting differences behind us,
Putting right the wrongs we've done.
Let's embrace our different cultures,
Make the world a better place.
Help end all racial hatred,
Peace and harmony embrace.
We must respect each race and creed,
Giving hope to those despairing,
Giving help where there is need.
We must shine out like a beacon
For everyone to see.
Make a world where everyone can live in peace and dignity.
In a world where there's division,
Where hate and mistrust breed,
Where children die of hunger
When the world could meet their need.
We must put the past behind us
And attempt to find a way
To make this world a better place
And vow that from today;
We shall strive to make a world
In which we share and not divide,
Where there's poverty and hunger
Make all effort to provide.
For this world we take for granted
Could give so much more if we
Work to make a world where all can live in peace and dignity.
