Lyrics:

First verse:

All the people that I see,
have a heartbeat, have a heartbeat.
We hold the fire of the earth.
And the light of the sun
beats inside us like a drum.
We’re together in the heart of the world,
We’re together in the heart of the world.

Chorus:

I ask the birds of peace to fly to my heart
from the sky of the heart of the world.
I ask the birds of peace to fly to my heart
from the sky of the heart of the world.
Heart of the world, heart of the world,
we’re together in the heart of the world.
Heart of the world, heart of the world,
we’re together in the heart of the world.

Second verse:

All the people of all lands
share a heartbeat, share a heartbeat.
We hold the fire of the earth.
And the light of the sun
beats inside us like a drum.
We’re together in the heart of the world,
We’re together in the heart of the world.

Third verse:

All the people in this room
have a heartbeat, have a heartbeat.

Fourth verse:

All the people that I see
have a heartbeat, have a heartbeat.
