Say it isn't so that the world must choose again
Well, who is foe and who is friend
I can't believe it, say it isn't so
That the world must choose
Here we are win or lose, I can't believe it
I believe that we are just beginning
To realize that we are all the same
And I believe that we are
Bent on winning this game
Say it isn't so that the people must bend
To this war without end
I can't believe it, I can't believe it
I can't believe it, do you believe?
