If we are one big happy family, no one would have to beg
|
To eat.
|
If we live in a world of dignity, no man would have to
|
Live on the street.
|
If I tell you you're a part of me, there's no need for
|
Disbelief.
|
Here is my hand, to let you know that what we dream we
|
All can hold.
|
Apart we are weak... together we're strong.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh, people... we are writing this song. We're all living
|
These words together forever.
|
There's no reason we can't live and be one...
|
Build the world that we want together.
|
For as long as you stand here by me... we'll live on.
|
|
Think of all the possibilities that the eyes of a child
|
Can see.
|
Think of all the opportunities that float right by you
|
And me.
|
Take my hand, and we will know all that we dream... we,
|
Our own.
|
Apart we are weak... together we're strong.
|
|
[Chorus]
