Learn it from our children, before they learn from us As we live this play, ooh the actors believe what they say In a cast of millions of people, I heard someone say Why can't we… Live as One? Our lives have just begun Live as one You and I, a new day… has begun Oh, lookin' for a brand new day Living on the edge Oooo we need a moment's peace And I'll shout it out to the world Down on my knees Down on my knees Live as One Our lives have just begun Live as one You and I, a new day You and I, a brand new day… has begun Money buys us power But does not buy us love The most precious gift is priceless Within it comes from Live as One Our lives have just begun Live as One You and I, a new day has begun
