what "have we" become 
just look what we have done 
all that we destroyed 
you must build again 
no more presidents 
and all the wars will end 
one united world 
under god 

when the children cry 
let them know we tried 
when the children fight 
let them know it ain't right 
when the children pray 
let them know the way 
cause when the children sing 
then the new world begins
