The many flags behold, the four winds gently blow
And seven seas break on the shore of every land
The spirit that we share, the love that's everywhere
Breaks in our hearts and leaves us all to understand

Gone, gone are the days of separation
Long gone the threat of you or me
The future of the world
Lies in the dreams of each and every one
So we join together, you and me
Hand in hand we choose to be

We're all one dream
One voice of hope
Hope for tomorrow
We're all one life
One gift of love
One song forever

Sister cities, brother nations
Hand in hand in celebration
Sister cities, brother countries
One peaceful world, one human nation
Yes, we are one

For every mother's child, for every father's joy
And each and every one belonging to us all
The life upon this Earth is dancing with the sun
And every silent voice awakes to join the call

Gone, gone are the days of separation
Long gone the threat of you or me
The future of the world
Lies in the dreams of each and every one
So we join together, you and me
Hand in hand we'll always be

We're all one dream
One voice of hope
Hope for tomorrow
We're all one life
One gift of love
One song forever

Sister cities, brother nations
Hand in hand in celebration
Sister cities, brother countries
One peaceful world, one human nation
Yes we are one
Sister cities, yes we are one
Sister cities, brother nations, yes we are one
