Lyrics

im kol shneya (with every second, hebrew)
ng ga dita (with every day, albanian)
her tan ile (with every dawn, turkish)
ba har hafteh (with every week, persian)
avec chaque mois (with every month, french)
mit jedem jahr (with every year, german)
may e shur jee (with every century, mandarin)
mui chi chyeng ni (with every millenium, taiwanese)

Jump off the flat earth, just try
jump into the open sky
Looking down, see what appears
our world's a shrinking sphere.

And you wonder why its beauty makes you sigh
'cause it's filled with so much hate
Don't give up but try, it will never be too late.

Watch it with wide open eyes
watch it turn, you'll see both sides
Start to listen if you dare
a blue-green peace is waiting there.

If you take a stand,
with a helping hand you can strip away the pain
so the world remains in a single tear of joy

all the world in a purpose all the world in a greeting all the world in a gathering
all the world in an understanding all the world in an agreement all the world in a handshake
all the world in an embrace all the world in a smile all the world in a single tear of joy

kachi chee dah (with every beat, korean)
kozshne dumka (with every thought, ukrainian)
ma'a kol hoby (with every love, arabic)
mui e hau ne (with every breath, cantonese)
z kazdy czas (with every tide, polish)
todo dias (with every day, spanish)
prathi naada (with every pulse, telegue)
pel'awon'ya (with every mother, yoruba)

The earth our home is acting small
it would slip through the fingers of your hand
but can't be held within the grip
of any single woman or man

Now it can be pieced with every beat
together and released in a single tear of joy with every breath
Celebration's feast in a single tear of joy with every word
all the world contained in a single tear of joy with every thought
all the world remains in a single tear of joy with every day
with every night
Now the world is getting smaller with every single tear of joy.
and our hearts are growing larger
Now the world is getting smaller
and our arms are spreading wider
