Jord'n er din og min
Uh... det sted vi holder af
Pas godt på den, det er en fælles sag
Der skal mere til, end blot at si' vi ved
Prøv engang med denne sang
Det var en lille melodi
Vi synger her
Men syng kun med og se så hvad der sker
Til sammen ka' vi sikkert bli' det største kor
En sang kan bli' til mere end du tror
Ligegyldigt hvem vi er
Og ligegyldigt hvor vi bor
Så har vi alle lånt den samme jord
Uh yeah...
Men husk alligevel
Det starter altid med dig selv
Prøv engang, uh... med denne sang
Det var en lille melodi
Et nemt refrain
Som godt kan synges om og om, uh yeah... igen
Til sammen ka' vi sikkert bli' det største kor
En sang kan bli' til mere end du tror
(Syng en sang og bli' alles ven)
(Lad os synge igen)
(Syng en sang om en bedre jord)
(Det hjælper mere, end du tror)
Det var en lille melodi
Et nemt refrain
Som godt kan synges om og om, uh yeah... igen
Til sammen ka' vi sikkert bli' det største kor
En sang kan bli' til mere end du tror
The earth is yours and mine
Ooh... the place we love
Take good care of it, that's a common matter
It takes more, than just saying we know
Try with this song
It was a little tune
We sing here
But just sing along and see what happens
Together we could be the biggest choir
A song can become more than you think
No matter who we are
And no matter where we live
We've all borrowed the same earth
Ooh yeah...
But remember, still
It always starts with yourself
Try once, ooh... with this song
It was a little tune
An easy refrain
That can be sung over and over, ooh yeah... again
Together we could be the biggest choir
A song can become more than you think
(Sing a song and be everybody's friend)
(Let us sing again)
(Sing a song about a better earth)
(It helps more than you think)
It was a little tune
An easy refrain
That can be sung over and over, ooh yeah... again
Together we could be the biggest choir
A song can become more than you think
