Lyrics
one world
the sun and moon and all the stars up above
birds and bees and all the wild flowers time's marching on it's running out.
just one world just one chance time's marching on it's running out
rivers sparkle in the silver moonlight
evergreen forest's filled with butterflies
time's marching on it's running out
just one world just one chance time's marching on it's running out
when the day break's and the birds are singing songs
and the sun beam's dance across the deep blue skies
when the sea gulls wing across the shores in flight,and the hills are kissed by passing clouds at night,
i feel this lovely freedom might not last
it's sad this helpless world is crumbling down.
just one world just one chance time's marching on it's running out
it's time to take a stand and save our world from destruction it's time to spread the word and stand together hand in hand,
the distant hills will soon be islands in the sun,
its time to pack our bags and head for open skies
just one world just one chance time's marching on it's running out
