I was born in times of misery and pain
Throughout my life, I've never known happiness
Melody, my true love and company
In her 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 is said
The harmony a sweet melody
In a song of peace and happiness is said
The harmony a sweet melody

This is a song
For all the world's children
Without conscious minds
And a positive meaning
They are the light
For all of God's people
Deep in their hearts
Is the hope of the future

This is a song
For all the children
This is a song
For all the children

This is a song
