Song: L. Attar, E. Cooper, J. Foreman, G. Lynch, T. May, A. Sharp


VERSE 1

This is our world

For us to share

Don’t pretend that we’re not there

This is our time to sing our song

Don’t tell us that we’re always wrong


PRE CHORUS

Sometimes you just want to sing out

But it’s hard to find the words

One voice may not seem to be strong

But together we can be heard!


CHORUS

Even though it can be hard to stand our ground

You won’t bring us down

Crazy times we’re living in

Heads are spinning round

It won’t bring us down


REFRAIN

Na-na na na-na na na na x 2


VERSE 2

This is our world

It’s all we have

Stand up before it’s all too late

We need to change

It can’t wait

There’s no time to hesitate


PRE CHORUS

Sometimes you just want to sing out

But it’s hard to find the words

One voice may not seem to be strong

But together we can be heard!


CHORUS

Even though it can be hard to stand our ground

You won’t bring us down

Crazy times we’re living in

Heads are spinning round

It won’t bring us down


REFRAIN Na-na na na-na na na na x 4 ½


PRE CHORUS

One voice may not seem to be strong
