Mister Songwriter, write me a song
Make it a short and simple melody
with words that would carry our message across
A message of peace to every country

(chorus)
sing all you people
all over the world
sing out and be heard
all over the world
lay down your arms
for we all belong
to one another
come and sing along

plenty of lengthy discussions among
leaders of nation the weak and the strong
quarrels unending, suppression of rights
we can be strong lets sing with all our might

(repeat chorus)

We've come a long way from yesterday
we can become what we are today
a better tomorrow waits for me and for you
why lose it now let's see our vision come true

(repeat chorus)

la la la la la
la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la (slowly fading)
