The World Song Lyrics

Hey, don′t you think it's time that we had a party?
Wouldn′t you agree we all need a good time?
We could have the neighbors in for a drink
And lay a little food on too

You could ask the Joneses, I could ask the Thompsons
Stewart from the store and don't forget the Johnsons
And what about the man who stands on the corner?
He must have a tale or two to tell
And wouldn't it be nice to buy off the Fillmore
And fill it with our friends and then if there′s still more
Room we could ask the folks from the city
To come along and feel at home

And if the ragged gypsy danced with the soldier
Think of all the things the soldier could learn
And think of all the things the doctor could tell the priest

There′s a story to be told
Listen
Sounds so new being told
Be told
Listen

Hey, maybe we should give an open invitation
We could have a friend from every single nation
We could ask the friends to bring along a friend
Anyone who wants to come will be welcome

Anyone who wants to make with the music
Is gonna be allowed to play what he wants to
Anyone who wants to sing us a song

Can bring us a song and sing it if he wants to
Maybe we could hear the voices of China
Sharing a harmony with Carolina
Africa could take the bass with the Asians
Melody promotes our East-West relations
Russia and the USA would be singing
Everybody's bells and hearts would be ringing

We could get the song to go on forever
If everybody in the world sang together

Words are meaning, oh so clear
Listen
Notes as old as life is here
Listen

Hey, maybe we could hear the voices of China
Sharing a harmony with Carolina
Africa could take the bass with the Asians
Melody promotes our East-West relations
Russia and the USA would be singing
Everybody′s bells and hearts would be ringing
We could get the song to go on forever
If everybody in the world sang together

Oh, we could make such sweet music together
If you come with your heart in your hand
Oh, we could make such sweet music together
If you come with your heart in your hand
Oh, we could make such sweet music together
If you come with your heart in your hand
Oh, we could make such sweet music together
If you come with your heart in your hand
