Let’s think of the good things instead of all the bad
We mustn’t give into a world that’s going mad
So hold on, we can survive
We’ve got to keep the spirit of destiny alive
Just say that we can if we try
Like the rivers need the mountains
Just like the flowers need the rain
Pleasure need the pain
However, far away, it seems
I’m dreaming for a world in perfect harmony
And we’ve got to face it, there’s nowhere left to hide
(But we need) determination to change the wrong to right
The future’s a baby being born
Looking for us for strength to keep it from harm
You know we’ll succeed if we try
If we try
Like the rivers need the mountains
Just like flowers need the rain
Pleasure need the pain
However, far away, it seems
I’m dreaming for a world in perfect harmony
oh-oh
(For a world in perfect harmony) oh-oh
(For a world in perfect harmony)
I’m dreaming for a world in perfect harmony
Don’t let your dreams escape
The future’s ours to shape
Like the rivers need the mountains
Just like the flowers need the rain
Pleasure need the pain
However, far away, it seems
I’m dreaming for a world in perfect harmony
, oh-oh
(For a world in perfect harmony) oh-oh
(For a world in perfect harmony)
I’m dreaming for a world in perfect harmony
(I’m dreaming for a world in perfect harmony), oh-oh
(For a world in perfect harmony) ooh-ooh-ooh
(For a world in perfect harmony) yeah-yeah-yeah
I’m dreaming for a world in perfect harmony
, yeah
(For a world in perfect harmony) oh-oh-oh
(For a world in perfect harmony)
I’m dreaming for a world in perfect harmony
