VERSE:
WE DON’T CARE WHAT COLOR WE ARE
OR DIFFERENCES AMONG OUR NATIONS
CAUSE WE’RE ALL LIVING IN THIS SAME SCARY WORLD
WHERE GROWN UPS MAKE BIG DECISIONS
WE DO CARE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR PLANET
AND WE DO CARE IF OUR PARENTS GO TO WAR
WE WANT TO KNOW IT’S SAFE OUTSIDE TO WALK TO SCHOOL & BACK
AND WHEN WE SLEEP AT NIGHT
THAT IN THE MORNING IT’LL BE ALL RIGHT!
CHORUS:
WE’RE THE CHILDREN OF OUR WORLD!
WITH ONE BIG VOICE
THAT’S GOTTA BE HEARD
IT MATTERS WHAT WE SAY
CAUSE WE’RE THE FUTURE TODAY
EVERY BOY & GIRL ARE THE CHILDREN OF OUR WORLD
VERSE:
WE DON’T CARE ABOUT ARGUING OPINIONS
FOR THE SAKE OF BEING RIGHT HAS GOT TO GO
WE CARE THAT EACH CHILD HAS FOOD AND HAS A HOME
AND FEELS REAL LOVE FROM PEOPLE THEY KNOW
WE DO CARE THAT WE GET AN EDUCATION
WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO FILL EVERY DREAM
AND THE RIGHT TO LIVE WHEREVER WE WANT
NO MATTER WHO WE ARE
WE’LL BE RESPONSIBLE TO CARRY ON!
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
BE A GOOD EXAMPLE
WE LEARN FROM YOU THIS WAY
BUILD A BRIDGE BY LISTENING
TO US - TODAY!
REPEAT CHORUS:
