I've seen suffering
I've seen misery
And it seems to me
It goes on
But if it's true to say
There's another way
We will find it
And carry on
They stand in the rain
They stand in the cold
They are so young,
But look so old
Yet through these younger eyes
There's still hope inside
That these fading lights
Will burn again
And all because
The world is waiting now
Anticipating now
The love of a child
And there is love,
This love, it shines so bright
That we, the world, unite
For the love of a child
We all hear the cry
Some will walk on by
Some will answer
To the call
But there's one still
Never walks away
Till it comes the day
We'll love again
And all because
The world is waiting now
Anticipating now
The love of a child
And there is love,
This love, it shines so bright
That we, the world, unite
For the love of a child
I've seen suffering
I've seen misery
When it seemed to me
All hope was gone
But all we really need
All we're longing for
Now and forevermore
Is the love of a child
And all because
The world is waiting now
Anticipating now
The love of a child
And there is love,
This love, it shines so bright
That we, the world, unite
For the love of a child
That we, the world, unite
For the love of a child
