What can we do with the time
Time we've got for our life
Life with millions of people
Life so full of suspicion
And fear, and fear, and fear, and fear

We can kill, we can lie
We can hurt, we can cry
We can hate, we can spy
But is this the dedication that we've got
Oh no, oh no

Oh, I believe the words that I heard
From a wounded hungry child
I believe the worth of a man
Is not the colour of his skin

I believe life is more
Than just live for yourself
If we live for each other
There will be no suspicion
And fear, and fear, and fear, and fear

We can kill, we can lie
We can hurt, we can cry
We can hate, we can spy
But is this the dedication that we've got
Oh no, oh no

Oh, I believe there is a chance
To live in a better world
I believe in a wonderful life
If we admit that we are wrong
