You hold within your hands 

The future of our lives 

The light that takes you there beyond the bend 

It's written in the sand, where the past had all began 

The tomorrow is here within your hand 



The love that's in your heart 

As child of God and Man 

Will burn and light your way until the end 

It's written in the sand, where the past had all began 

The tomorrow is here within your hand 



You must hold on and dream of a place that is safe and peacefull and free 

Through a thousand years and more let it be 

A bright new world that shine, with love for humanity 

A world that's home for you and me 



You hold within your hands 

The future of our lives 

The light that takes you there beyond the bend 

It's written in the sand, where the past had all began 

The tomorrow is here within your hand 



You must hold on and dream of a place that is safe and peacefull and free 

Through a thousand years and more let it be 

A bright new world that shine, with love for humanity 

A world that's still for you and me 



Nations rise up and cheer 

We are bound by what we give to one another 

Reaching out too far and near 

In a world of love that brings us all together here 

This great new year 



You hold within your hands 

The future of our lives 

The light that takes you there beyond the bend 

It's written in the sand, where the past had all began 

The tomorrow is here within your hand 



You must hold on and dream of a place that is safe and peacefull and free 

Through a thousand years and more let it be 

A bright new world that shine, with love for humanity 

A world that's home for you 

A world that's home for you 

A world that's home for you and me yeah..
