Sitting here feeding all these

Numbers into my machine

A number for every little thing I see

I execute and they come dancing in

Dresses black and green

I recognize the number shining out at me

Telling me One world, one love, one reason why

One hope, one dream, one reason why

One world, one love, one reason why

One hope, one dream, one reason why

One reason why Many a good man stops

To reason and pause for a while

Many a big man doesn't even try

And those who should know better love the

Word in praise and letter

They wonder how and when

When I just wonder why I wonder One world, one love, one reason why

One hope, one dream, one reason why

One world, one love, one reason why

One hope, one dream, one reason why

One reason why They're crying in future tenses

Tearing down the walls and fences

No matter how I count

It still comes to the same amount One world, one love, one reason why

One hope, one dream, one reason why

One world, one love, one reason why

One hope, one dream, one reason why

One reason why
