Sitting here feeding
All these numbers into my machine
A number for every little thing I see
I execute and they come dancing in dresses black and green
I recognize the number shining out at me
Telling me

One world, one love, one reason why
One hope, one dream, one reason why, one reason why

Many a good man stops to reason and pause for a while
Many a big man doesn't even try
And those who should know better
Love the word in praise and letter
They wonder how and when
When I just wonder why I wonder

One world, one love, one reason why
One hope, one dream, one reason why
One world, one love, one reason why
One hope, one dream, one reason why
One reason why

They're crying in future tenses
Tearing down the walls and fences
No matter how I count
It still comes to the same amount

It's one world, one love, one reason why
One hope, one dream, one reason why
One world, one love, one reason why
One hope, one dream, one reason why

One world, one love, one reason why
One hope, one dream, one reason why
One world
