Nana Mouskouri - All over the World lyrics

rate me

( Trad. Arr. Joan Sakel / B. Blackburn )

1-

As I've looked around

At the life I'm living

More and more I found

Life is for the giving

Children know the way

Loving and forgiving

Chorus

All over the world

The children are singing

All over the world

You see them at play

Why must we destroy

The joy they are bringing

All over the world

Let love show the way

Chorus

2-

Then we were very young

Love's a gift for sharing

But as we grow up

We forget the caring

Why must we go on

Distrusting and despairing

Chorus

3-

Innocent and free

Hear the children's laughter

Why can't people be

Happy ever after

Let this song of hope

Ring from every rafter

Chorus

4-

There in Neverland

See the children playing

Walking hand in hand

Innocent and playing

Can't we undrestand

A single word they're saying

Chorus twice
