Show the world and all its people
All the wonders love can bring
Give us strength and understanding
Give us all one song to sing

Let the music play
Play it loud and make it clear
It's time to stand up
To a new world that is now so near

From the bottom to the top
To the leaders of the land
We all have one heart
Everyone of us must lend a hand

And let there be joy in the world
And let there be no sorrow
(Let there be)
And let there be peace on earth

And let there be peace on earth
For all the world
We've got to see
That love, oh love

What a blessed thing (oh, yeah)
Say it loud
Make it clear today
All the walls are falling down

No more children off to war
If we search in our hearts
All the suffering will be no more
And let there be joy in the world

And let there be no sorrow
For all god's children
Let them see
That love, oh love

What a blessed thing (oh, yeah)
Say it loud
Make it clear today
And freedom, no more lies

We can save this world if we try
One world I know we can make it
Yes, it's only in your heart
Yes, it's only in your dreams

You can climb the highest mountains
You can make the whole world sing
Love, oh love
What a blessed thing (oh, yeah)

Say it loud
Make it clear today
