I am sending out this message
And I'm sure you have one, too
Tell me, tell me, tell me, brother

All across the planet
People searching for the truth
Always asking questions
That our leaders don't approve
We're gonna work it out
Show the world we understand

Spread the news across the land
Can we? (Can we?)

You and I can work together
Putting all of our hate aside
Tell yourself and then another
That love will always be your guide
We're gonna work it out
Show the world we understand
