The papers didn't wanna make us cry
And found it easier to feed us lies
They told us war was fun that peace had overcome
Told us how we were the only ones who mattered now
Well what's left when it's said and done
How can you love when you're the only one
Well in the darkness there's a shining light
It stands for hope it stands for equal right
Together we will stand one people hand in hand
Here we rise, then soon the whole world will realise
Our hearts all beat to one rhythm
So now's the time to start giving
All the little lights are shining out tonight
Now are you gonna turn away?
All the boys and girls from all over the world
Are standing up so hear them say
Everybody's good at something
But nobody even let them start
So build them peace
Build them joy
Build them love within your heart
The sun will rise again it's not the end
Pain will be gone I promise you my friend
But now we're standing on the edge of everything
So we cry, so all can hear us sing we'll never die
We'll spread our voices spread them far and wide
'Til hate is gone and can no longer hide
All the little lights are shining out tonight
Now are you gonna turn away?
All the boys and girls from all over the world
Are standing up so hear them say
Everybody's good at something
But nobody even let them start
So build them peace
Build them joy
Build them love within your heart
Build them peace
Build them joy
Build them love within your heart
