Children are not afraid to see
They don´t know the world they will face
They don´t know their tomorrow, playing is what´s left
They won´t have rivers to bathe in
They won´t have a love to fall for
Then what´s left? They surely have to play

We can´t forget our world, ´cause it´s our home
We just have this song of sorrow

Is this really what we have to do?
So many lives exchanged for power
Will love, friends, kin, trees, animals be legends?
Where´s the sunset, the morning´s breeze?
Where´s what they once called heart?
Is this what we really have become?

We can´t forget our world, ´cause it´s our home
We just have this song... and we´ll sing it!

We want to see again
We´re friends and nobody´s gonna take this away from us
We feel sorry for them

And we know we´re better than this
Our cry for freedom has come

We want to see again
We´re friends and nobody´s gonna take this away from us
We don´t know who´ll be with us
Whether there´ll be many or a few of us
But maybe someone will hear us singing softly

We can´t forget our world, ´cause it´s our home
And we only have this song.
