if we are one big 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 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
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 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 the future at stake
there’s room for us all
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
oh people
said people people people
we should write it together
yes i want you to think think think
oh people people people
oh i said to you i said
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 should we beg to eat
if we live in a world of dignity
you know what
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
