| Open up, my friend, and learn to hear |
| For even lying when it has nothing you should fear |
| If you cannot let yourself be known |

| All are strangers, all are friends |
| All are brothers, |
| We, your children, we would ask you all |
| Please do not hide your eyes and listen when we call |
| We will whisper, shout or make a scene |
| We are the answer for we can live the peace we dream |
| All are strangers, all are friends |
| All are brothers, oh yeah, oh yeah |

| For life is change and only blind men cannot see |
| The new order is upon us now |
| It is the children they have the wisdom to be free |
| All are strangers, all are friends |
| All are brothers |
