My close friends say to me
'Take it easy let it be'
They say be happy
But sometimes it is hard to be
When I look at the world as it is

And all the days of my life
I will try to give
Whatever it takes to make
A world where love lives

I think of what the world could be
Without hunger, war or poverty
A world where children can be free
To dream their dreams
And live in peace
I imagine heaven

And all the days of my life
I will try to give
Whatever it takes to make
A world where love lives

Ay ah ay ah ay ah ay
Ay ah ay ah ay ah ay
Ay ah ay ah ay ah ay
Ay ah ay ah ay ah ay

I believe a simple act of kindness
Has the power to change the world

And all the days of my life
I will try to give
Whatever it takes to make
A world where love lives
Whatever it takes to make
A world where love lives

Ay ah ay ah ay ah ay
Ay ah ay ah ay ah ay
Ay ah ay ah ay ah ay
Ay ah ay ah ay ah ay
