The time has come
When we all have to take a stand
We can make it together
By placing our hands in each other’s hands
In your darkest hour
In your time of need
Oh, we need the children
To teach the world
To carry on
We need the children
To live in peace
Till fear is gone
We’re the hope of all people
We shine the light
We need the children
We live in a world
Where the love has been thrown away
We can help one another
By living each day for a better day
In our brightest hour
In our time of hope
Oh we need the children
To teach the world
To carry on
We need the children
To live in peace
Till fear is gone
We’re the hope of all people
We shine the light
We need the children
Together we can build a place
Of love and peace and happiness
We can save the human race
We’ll shine through darkness
Oh we need the children
To teach the world
To carry on
We need the children
To live in peace
Till fear is gone
