The One World

Take a moment to stop and think
A moment is all it will take
Take a moment, we're on the brink
What a difference we all can make

It's up to us, to all of us
We simply have to try
It's up to us, to all of us
Time is passing by

This is the one world for all of us
The one world we ever may know
This is the one world for all of us
The blue skies the green earth below

This is the one world we're living in
The one world we ever may share
This is the one world we're living in
The rivers, the oceans, the air

This is the one world for all of us
The one world that's yours and is mine
This is the one world for all of us
A world only God could design

This is the one star of all the stars
The one star we wish on each night
This is the one star of all the stars
A star with it's own special light

This is the one world for all of us
One world we owe to the brave
This is the one world for all of us
The one world we have to save.
