Read the paper, what do you see?
War in Asia, hunger and greed.
Murder in the Bronx, rape in the park
Pollution in the city, tomorrow looks so dark.

Everybody join hands with your fellow men
And work together to save our land
Take a look around, take a look inside
Oh can't you see we gotta turn the tide.

Man in the prison calling out to me
Needs another chance, wants to be free 
And in a way like that man
We're just as guilty if we don't lend a hand.

Everybody join hands with your fellow men
And work together to save our land
Take a look around, take a look inside
Oh can't you see we gotta turn the tide.

If things go on like this much further
We're gonna be guilty of murder 
So let's start thinking 'bout tomorrow
Today, please don't delay.

Start to love, stop this hate
Change the world, it's not too late 
Work for freedom, work for peace
And try to make this madness cease.

Everybody join hands with your fellow men
And work together to save our land
Take a look around, take a look inside
Oh can't you see we gotta turn the tide.
