Look around at the world today Our precious home withers in decay What once was whole is now torn and stained Do you wonder how it got this way? The years will come The years will go Kingdoms rise and fall The time has come to take control The world belongs to us Long ago, a choice was made The few would rule, the rest obey Now we are taught how to behave Don't question why, and don't complain The years will come The years will go Kingdoms rise and fall The time has come to take control The world belongs to us A single drop of water becomes a mighty fall People of the earth The world belongs to us Now it's time to demonstrate That you and I can make history Tear down the walls that separate To make us weak and keep us afraid The years will come The years will go Kingdoms rise and fall The time has come to take control The world belongs to us A single drop of water becomes a mighty fall People of the earth The world belongs to us
