We are the young, the children of the world.

We hold tomorrow in our hands.

We are the young, the promise of a brighter day.

The future waits at our command.

Teach us well; teach us how to care.

Give us love, love that we can share.

We’ll walk hand in hand in the light of the rising sun.

We Are the Young

We are the young and so we look to you to show us how the world should be.

We are the young; we trust in your experience to help us shape our destiny.

That day is dawning when we will be grown.We will inherit this world for our own.

We are the young.

You must work, we all must work, to make the world worthy

of its children.
