I was born to this world
Not too long ago
With millions of other children
As you may know
Deep inside, we're all the same
Living in this world filled with pain
Don't you think it's time for a change
For the children of the world?

You might think we're too young
To understand
(Too young to understand)
Give us a chance and we will prove we can
(Yes, we can)

Change this world for the better (better)
Let's give a try (let's give it a try)
The world must stick together (together)
If we are to survive

We are the children of the world
The next generation
God's unique, brand new creation
But why do we have to live this way
When all we wanna do is go out and play?
We are the children of the world
Singing in harmony, striving for unity
We are the children of the world

If we give from the heart
Love will always shine
(Love will always shine)
Let's get together now
Hold it inside

(Yes, it's time to)
Change this world for the better (better)
Let's give a try
(Give it one more try)
The world must stick together (together)
If we are to survive

We are the children of the world
The next generation
God's unique, brand new creation
But why do we have to live this way
When all we wanna do is go out and play?
We are the children of the world
Singing in harmony, striving for unity
We are the children of the world
We are the children of the world
Of the world
