LYRICS
---------
You know the world keeps going 'round
It's getting older every year
You know the world keeps going 'round
No one should have to live in fear
We have to speak up far & wide
We can't leave anyone behind
You see we're young so we don't know
But one day you will too be old
You know the world keeps going 'round
It's getting older every year
You know the world keeps going 'round
No one should have to live in fear
Well we as people are defined
By how we treat our weakest kind
We have to keep this all in mind
So we can keep our heads held high
