Ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...

If we are one big happy family
No one will have to beg to eat
If we live in a world of dignity
No man will have to live on the street

If I tell you you’re a part of me
There’s no need for disbelief

Here’s my hand, to let you know
That what we dream we all can hold
Apart we are weak, together we’re strong

Oh, oh, oh, people
We’re all writing this song
We’re all living these words together
Forever

There’s no reason, mmm, hmm
We can’t live and be one
Build the world that we want together
For as long as you stand here by me we’ll live on

Think of all the possibilities
That the eyes of a child can see
Think of all the opportunities
That float right by you and me

Take my hand and we will know
All that we dream, will be our own
Apart we are weak, together we’re strong

Oh, oh, oh, people
We’re all writing this song
We’re all living these words together
Forever

There’s no reason
We can’t live and be one
Build the world that we want together
For as long as you stand here by me we’ll live on

There will be no sides to take
If we can change the course we’re on
There is no future at stake
There’s room for a song

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Mmm

Oh...people
We’re all writing this song
We’re all living these words together
Forever

There’s no reason, oh, no
We can’t live and be one
So people, people, people
We should write it together, yes

I want you to think, think, think
Oh, deeper, deeper, oh

Think of all the possibilities
That the eyes of a child can see
Think of all the opportunities
That float right by you and me

Oh...people
Why children beg to eat
If we live in a world of dignity
Then no one, no one, no one should live on the street
Oh, there’s room for us all
Oh...it’s a big world
We should live together
