Lyrics:
Verse 1
The time has come when enough is enough
And healing is what we need to start
Life is fragile so we gotta get tough
And live our lives with an open heart
Verse 2
We're all human this is the truth
We can all find reasons to hate
But we can't expect our youth to make changes
That we don't help create
Chorus
We can save the World with a smile
We can love the World like a child
Step in someone else's shoes
Let the magic begin walking in twos
Verse 3
Yesterdays gone sometimes a sad memory
So say what you mean today with love
Help us to learn how to act with empathy
Happiness is what we're all in search of
Chorus
We can save the World with a smile
We can love the World like a child
Step in someone else's shoes
Let the magic begin walking in twos
Bridge 2xWe can change what's going on
And learn how to trust
If we lean on each other
Stand united all of us
Chorus
We can save the World with a smile
We can love the World like a child
Step in someone else's shoes
Let the magic begin walking in twos
We can save the World with a smile
We can love the World like a child
Step in someone else's shoes
Let the magic begin walking in twos
Let the magic begin walking in twos
Let the magic begin with me and you
Let the magic begin with me and you
