Somewhere in this world
someone shed a tear
somebody just like you
feels the way you do

Somewhere in this world
someone understands
another needs a helping hand
help them if you can

I can touch where you are
we both share every star
a common thread runs through
(ooh-&) life means much the same to all
so lets tear down every wall
and build a bridge from me to you

(Chorus)
When will we put fear aside
why can't we throw away fals pride
every heart will grow
when love lights up the world
No need to walk in the dark
we don't have to stand so far apart
every heart will know
when love lights up the world

Mothers everywhere
babies at their breasts
one love is like the rest
a universal bond

Children laugh and play
every boy and girl
the future of the world
as time continues on

I can touch you where you are
we both share every star
a common thread runs through
(ohh-&) life means much the same to all
and the world has grown so small
there's a bridge from me to you
