We Are Children

Like the silence of the sea
Like the shadow of a tree
Like the desert needs the rain
We are children of this world
Like a rainbow on a mountain high (up on a mountain high)
Like the prayers never lie (they never lie)
Like a flower beyond your reach (so far beyond your reach)
We are children of this world (and we'll be free)

Eternally like a circle never ends
Unselfish like a mother understands
Incalculable like a candle in the wind
We are children of this world and we let it in

Like a circle never ends
Like a mother understands
Like a candle in the wind
We are children of this world (and we'll be free)
Like the silence of the sea (the silence of the sea)
Like the shadow of a tree (the shadow of a tree)
Like the desert needs the rain (desert needs the rain)
We are children of this world (and we'll be free)

Understandin' is the way into a world of happiness
We all have the same destination
We are children of this world

Unreachable like a rainbow on a mountain high
Unfeelable like the prayers never lie
Inaccessible like a flower beyond your reach
We are children of this world, don't teach, just preach

Like a rainbow on a mountain high
Like the prayers never lie
Like a flower beyond your reach
We are children of this world (and we'll be free)
Like the silence of the sea (the silence of the sea)
Like the shadow of a tree (the shadow of a tree)
Like the desert needs the rain (desert needs the rain)
We are children of this world (of peace and harmony)

Like a rainbow on a mountain high (up on a mountain high)
Like the prayers never lie (oh no, they never lie)
Like a flower beyond your reach (so far beyond your reach)
We are children of this world (and we'll be free)
