As I've looked around
At the life I'm living,
More and more, I found
Life is for the giving
Children know the way
Loving and forgiving
CHORUS:
All over the world,
The children are singing
All over the world,
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing?
All over the world,
Let love show the way
Then, we were very young
Love's a gift for sharing
But as we grow up,
We forget the caring
Why must we go on
Distrusting and despairing?
CHORUS
Innocent and free,
Hear the children's laughter
Why can't people be
Happy ever after?
Let this song of hope
Ring from every rafter
CHORUS
There in Neverland,
See the children playing,
Walking hand in hand
Innocently playing
Can't we understand
A single word they're saying?
CHORUS (2x)
