Little OneLittle one ... it's a hard time to be born
The young are dying in a rich man's war
And most of the children in the world are poor
But there's love all around you, your
      mother's arms surround you
It's a hard time to be born, little one.

Little one ... I will change the world for you
I will do all I can, and there's so much to do
Take the poison from the water, the bombs
      from the sky
Treat the earth with all the tenderness I feel
      for you tonight
I will change the world for you, little one.

Little one ... there is beauty everywhere
In the faces you see, and the birds in the air
It's a world full of wonder that each
      morning brings
A world full of friends and lullabies to sing
There is beauty everywhere, little one.
