I look around the world and I wonder what will be?

Will natural disasters spell the end of you and me?

Or will we simply bomb ourselves into eternity?

Pitting brother against brother to a certain tragedy

The glaciers melt, the oceans rise, it comes as no surprise

While fires burn our houses down and smoke gets in our eyes

Is there still time to change the world to find a remedy?

And make this world a safer place for all humanity?

We only have one world to share

The hour’s late we’re almost there

We need a plan no time to spare

Here and there and everywhere

I think there still is time to turn the ship we’re on around

To find a course that takes us to a safe and higher ground

But we can only reach that place if we all work together

And make the world a better place where we can live forever

So people of the world are you ready to unite?

To make a plan to save the world and win our greatest fight

We only have one planet and we must protect this place

And solve the epic problems that our staring in our face

We only have one world to share

The hour’s late we’re almost there

We need a plan no time to spare

Here and there and everywhere

There’s no time to procrastinate

We need to heed the call

Join hands and work together

All for one and one for all

I look around the world and I wonder what will be?

Can people of all nations join in perfect harmony?

We only have one world to share for all eternity

We need to work together to make this world what it can be
