The time has come
When we all have to take a stand
We can make it together
By placing our hands in each others hands
In your darkest hour
In your time of need
* Oh we need the children
To teach the world
To carry on
We need the children
To live in peace
'Til fear is gone
** We're the hope of all people
We shine the light
We need the children
We live in a world
Where the love has been thrown away
We can help one another
By living each day for a better day
In our brightest hour
In our time of hope
* Repeat
** Repeat
Together we can build a place
Of love and peace and happiness
We can save the human race
We'll shine through darkness
* Repeat
