lyrics

People of the Earth,
our world is full of struggle and of strife,
but everybody
has the key to a better life.
One thing’s for sure, there’s something out there that we’re all
gonna have to find.
Maybe then we’ll have the right
to call ourselves the name of humankind.

We gotta love one another.
We gotta learn from one another.
We gotta dance with one another.
First we gotta love one another.
That’s right, the time is now.

I’ll tell you what it’s worth --
with love there’s not a thing we can’t survive.
It’s the source of all happiness,
yeah, it keeps us all alive.
Everyone of us, we gotta do our part,
we gotta compromise.
’Cause we’ve been blind the longest time,
so let’s together open up our eyes.

We gotta love one another.
We gotta learn from one another.
We gotta dance with one another.
First we gotta love one another.
Here, let me show you how.
