[Intro]
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
[Chorus]
The time has come once again
Let's get together, my friends
Now you for me, then me for you
Just like the children do
[Verse 1]
So, we know this land is ours
Let's all beam out like flowers
Colorful in many ways
[Chorus]
We have toiled so hard, day and night
We should not give up this fight
Out of many, we make one
Unity and love is our plan
[Verse 2]
So, we know this land is ours
Let's all beam out like flowers
Colorful in many ways
[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
So, we know this land is ours
Let's all beam out like flowers
Colorful in many ways
[Chorus]
The time has come once again
Let's get together, my friends
Now you for me, then me for you (Just like the children do)
Only you for me, then me for you (Just like the children do)
I said, you for me, then me for you (Just like the children do)
[Outro]
Everybody should unite now (Just like the children do)
Everyone an' you, you know (Just like the children do)
Everybody should unite now (Just like the children do)
