People are trying to survive,
The children are wondering why.
We must keep our promise,
The truth is a parting us,
Peace is the word of the day,
That your heart'll lead the way.
Look around, and what do you see,
All the misery, the pain you see,
Can't believe, some of the things I see
that's going on is wrong.
Everybody, all over this world,
If we don't get together,
I'm talking about, freedom for you and me,
Think of tomorrow, without any sorrow,
And what a world will be,
And what do you start, within your heart,
People are praying, people are saying,
It isn't right to fight for the right,
Everybody, all over this world,
Raise your voices in one song,
'Cause life is too short, and hey! you're gone.
I'm talking about, freedom for you and me,
