One World

Nik Kershaw

Sitting here feeding

all these nimbers into my machine

A number for every little thing I see

I execute and they come dancing in

Dresses black and green

I recognise 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 shold 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
