When The World Sings One
Written: January 1st, 2026 / Music is uploaded to accompany these lyrics
***********
[Verse1]
A hand extended, a familiar voice known;
Adieu to the year that weighed us down.
But even in shadow, a flicker stayed;
A hand extending, a sibilant prayed.
[Chorus]
So lift your voice, let the whole world hear—
a melody to start a brighter year.
Let hunger cease, let arms be laid down;
May every soul find its way back around.
When the world sings one, when the world sings one,
hope rises like a newborn sun.
[Verse2]
The storm is easing, the dark hours gone;
We walk into the sun, a group, not alone.
No kid remains starved or is shut down;
A vow we claim, in action, not in frown
[Bridge]
along any horizon, from peak to plain,
we shout a plea, our eternal refrain.
allow mercy to clean out our fear,
allow unity be the theme we hold dear.
[Final Chorus]
So raise your voice, let the whole world hear—
a song for the dawn of a brighter year.
Let hunger cease, let arms be laid down.
May every soul find its way back around.
When the world sings one, when the world sings one,
the future starts with everyone.
