I come tumblin’ down, from the darkness I, stretch my arms out to, catch the sound, yeah.
I hear grumblin’ and, broken heartness is, slowly spreading and, going ’round.

Half the people are, never knowing and, never caring and never showing, their …
… love for sisters, as well as brothers. Let’s, teach our children to, love each other.

Slowly coming the, thought of losing the world is ever so near.
Let’s start showing and, let’s start growing with love there’s nothing to fear.
Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da;
Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da;

Oh … Yeah.

Oh … Yeah.
Oh … Yeah.

Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da;
