Lyrics
[Verse 1]
World we know was built on skills
But that alone don't count
Without the sweat and toil of mine
It wouldn't be worth a dime
[Verse 2]
You got to live and give (Know the bread from the water)
Share and care (Know the nickel from the quarter)
Really put some love in the air (know the good, know the bad)
(Know the happy, know the sad, know the first, know the last)
When your neighbor's down, try to pick him up
(Know the grass from the weed, know the flower from the seed)
Nobody can live in despair (Know the, know the dark)
(Know the smile, know the frown, know it's time)
[Verse 3]
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Let freedom ring)
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Everybody let's sing)
Let's all pitch in, do our thing, make a better world to live in
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Let freedom ring)
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Everybody let's)
Let's all pitch in, do our thing, make a better world to live in
[Verse 4]
Society have no priority
We're all one part of a whole
When the people shout
We have to hear them out
Everybody is a beautiful soul, oh
[Verse 5]
You got to pull together (Know the bread from the water)
Go hand in hand (Know the nickel from the quarter)
You really got to do your best (Know the good, know the bad)
(Know the happy, know the sad, know the first, know the last)
But wouldn't it be a perfect sight to see?
(Know the grass from the weed)
(Know the flower from the seed)
The whole world filled with happiness (Know the, know the dark)
(Know the smile, know the frown, know it's time)
[Verse 6]
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Let freedom ring)
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Everybody let's)
Let's all pitch in, do our thing, make a better world to live in
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Let freedom ring)
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Everybody let's)
Let's all pitch in, do our thing, make a better world to live in
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing (Everybody let's)
Let's all pitch in, do our thing, make a better world to live in
