Gather Round Kiddies
Gather around all you kiddies
Got a wonderful tale to tell
Bout people who are always happy
As if they're under a spell
As spells go this one seems magic
Seems like a kind of trance
Holding hands and singing out loud
Performing a magical dance
Some people might think it's evil
But I'm here to tell the truth
They're really dances of undying love
Coz this world sure needs a boost
Let's all think only about loving
The peoples of every land
No matter the language or way of life
Let's all of us just join hands
Don't listen to all the naysayers
Time for a change in thinking
It's not who's got the biggest toys
Reach out with loving arms linking
Some will say I'm just blowing smoke
It's too late to make such a change
My answer is if we all did nothing
Things would still wind up the same
So how many of you are with me
Raise up your hands and cheer
For a world where all nations coexist
And peace replaces our fears
