All Over the World Lyrics

As I′ve looked around at the life I'm living
More and more I′ve found, life is for the giving
Children know the way, loving and forgiving

All over the world, the children are singing
All over the world, you'll see them at play
Why must we destroy the joy they're bringing?
All over the world, let love show the way

When we′re very young, love′s a gift for sharing
But as we grow up, we forget the caring
Why must we go on, distrusting and despairing?

All over the world, the children are singing
All over the world, you'll see them at play
Why must we destroy the joy they′re bringing?
All over the world, let love show the way

Innocent and free, hear the children's laughter
Why can′t people be happy ever after?
Let this song of hope ring from every rafter

All over the world, the children are singing
All over the world, you'll see them at play
Why must we destroy the joy they′re bringing?
All over the world, let love show the way

There in every land, see the children playing
Walking hand in hand, innocently playing
Can't we understand the simple words they're saying?

All over the world, the children are singing
All over the world, you′ll see them at play
Why must we destroy the joy they′re bringing?
All over the world, let love show the way

All over the world, the children are singing
All over the world, you'll see them at play
Why must we destroy the joy they′re bringing?
All over the world, let love show the way
