I am running around the world

And I see the trees are dying

I am running around the world

And I hear the cows are crying

Everybody knows they have to die

I am running around the world

And I see the men are fighting

I am running around the world

And I hear the kids are weeping

Everybody knows they have to die

I am running around the world

And I see the fields are burning

I am running around the world

And I hear the guns are shooting

Everybody knows they have to die

But I know – I don’t wanna live in a world like this

Come on and gimmi your hand – I wanna be your friend –

Then we can change the world – then we can change the world

I am running around the world

And I see the flowers are blooming

I am running around the world

And I hear the birds are singing

Everybody knows it can be true

I am running around the world

And I see the cows are grazing

I am running around the world

And I hear the kids are laughing

Everybody knows it can be true

But I know – I wanna live in a world like this

Come on and gimmi your hand – I wanna be your friend –

Then we can change the world – then we can change the world
