The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
And the power they took from the people
Will return to the people
Let us fight for a new world
Let us all unite
For a new world
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor
That's not my business
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone
I should like to help everyone if possible
We all want to help one another
Human beings are like that
We want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
But we have lost the way
We think too much and feel too little
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
For those who can hear me I say, do not despair
Let us fight for a new world
A decent world that will give men a chance to work
That will give youth a future and old age a security
By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power
But they lie
They do not fulfill their promise
They never will
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people
In the name of democracy
Let us fight to free the world
You, the people, have the power
The power to create happiness
To make this life free and beautiful
To make this life a wonderful adventure
Let us fight for a new world
Let us all unite
You, the people, have the power
Don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty
For a new world
You, the people, have the power
