One World, One Chance
written and recorded at home by Alan McCulloch
Looking through a child's eyes, then what do you see
The world could be a special place , to grow and live free
Ask them what they'd change around, faults that they see
Stop poisoning the atmosphere, it's their legacy
One world, one chance to save it
One more delay, we'll waste it
The time to act's upon us
One world one chance, one world one chance
Living with our ignorance, our heads' in the sand
We tinker round the edges, but don't make a stand
The truth is from the children, each race every land
They say it as it really is, a wake up for man
One world, one chance to save it
One more delay, we'll waste it
The time to act's upon us
One world one chance, one world one chance
Disregard it, it'll fade away
Evolution will save the day
Turn a blind eye and pay no heed
The children's future will all have gone with our deeds
The pact with mother nature, is our destiny
We place ourselves above it and waste energy
A million lights will burn away and still we can't see
The need to keep the balance with earth's harmony
One world, one chance to save it
One more delay, we'll waste it
The time to act's upon us
One world one chance, one world one chance
