One World

Written by:

4 Nov 1977

Some of us live like princes,
Some of us live like queens.
Most of us live just like me
And we don't know what it means,
To take our place in one world.
To make our peace in one world.
To make our way in one world,
To have our say in one world.

If you ain't got two words to say,
Then I can't talk to you.
No use crying, there's been no crime,
I say it's just the way the wind blows.
Just the name of the game,
The way of the world.
The way of the world.
Just the way of the world,
Just the way of the world.

Its a cold and lonely,
Cold and lonely,
Cold and lonely world, for some.
Such a cold and lonely,
Cold and lonely,
Cold and lonely world.
It's just a cold and lonely world for some.

There's one world, like it or not;
There's one world, believe it or not.
There's one world.
There's one world, leave it or not;
One world, like it or not,
There's one world.

Some of us live like princes,
Some of us live like queens.
Most of us live just like me
And we don't know what it means,
To make our peace in one world.
To take our place in one world.
To make our love in one world,
Make our way in one world.
There's one world,
One world.
