I was born in times of misery and pain
Throughout my life I've never known happiness
Melody, my true love and company
In a song she helps me carry on
I'm singing my song
I sing it for the children
This is a song for the children of the world
In a song of peace and happiness it's saying
The harmony, sweet melody
In a song of peace and happiness it's saying
The harmony, sweet melody
This is a song for all the world's children
With our conscious mind and a positive feeling
'Cause they are the light for all of God's people
Deep in their hearts there's hope for the future
This is a song for all the children
This is a song for all the children
This is a song
