Somebody always told me
That by singing with their heart
They were blackmailing the world
And I know this to be true, because:
When I sing this song here
I don't really know why
All the children sing with me
When they're working, when they're playing
And sometimes when they're sleeping
All the children sing with me
I hear them sing along in a chorus
And my heart skips a beat
When the children sing: la la la
I see myself as before
On the benches of my school
There is a party all around me
I see myself as before
On the benches of my school
There is a party all around me
If I hum the melody
In fa, in sol or even mi
All the children go la la la
Under the big midday sun
Over even dancing in the rain
All the children go la la la
It's hard to explain
But my heart is flipped over
I liked them and I liked it
But the music haunts me
And today when I sing
Even the big kids sing with me
We sing because we love life
And life loves us back
Come sing with me
