I can see the older man Looking at the younger man I can see the younger man Looking at the boy Over there, the older woman Is looking at the younger woman I can see the younger woman Looking at the girl
'Cause, every man sees In the younger man, the hope Every woman sees In the younger girl, the dream Everybody lives The pride and passion of the young From the womb to the tomb We will remember what it means
Chorus: Celebrate youth (celebrate) Those who have it (young ones) Celebrate youth (celebrate) Give them sight The future of the world's in the (celebrate) Hands of the children (young ones) So celebrate youth (celebrate) Teach them right
Looking in a child's eye There's no hate and there's no lie There's no black and there's no white
I can see the older man And sometimes in the older man I still see the young boy Burning in his eye
Locked up here inside our spirit Is the child that we are, hear it Some of us will always fear it And some will heed the cry
'Cause, everybody sees In the younger one, the hope Everybody sees In the younger one, the dream Everybody lives The pride and passion of the young From the womb to the tomb We will remember what it means
Chorus
Looking in a child's face There's no pride and no disgrace There's no struggle, there's no fight
Everybody sees In the younger one, the hope Everybody sees In the younger one, the dream Everybody lives The pride and passion of the young From the womb to the tomb We will remember what it means
Looking in a child's eye There's no hate and there's no lie There's no black and there's no white
Chorus x 3
Looking in a child's eye There's no hate and there's no lie There's no black and there's no white
