"We Are the Youth of the World", from Olympics, will be sung at the International Children's Day at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod this year as the children's message for peace to the world.
We are the youth of the world,
We are the messengers of peace,
We are the new generation
And we’re here to stay;
We are the hope for the future,
We are the road from the past,
We are the lines, newly written
That will point the way to a better life!
We’re the dreamers of dreams,
We’re the singers of songs
And we’ll carry the flame
To the place where it belongs,
So it lights the darkest corners
That our world has never seen,
So it shines beyond the farthest place
That anyone has been;
Let it break down all the walls between
Religion, creed and race;
Let it shed the light of self-esteem
On every human face;
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shed the light of self-esteem
On every human face
Let it shine!
We are the youth of the world,
We are the messengers of peace,
We are the new generation
And we’re here to stay;
We are the hope for the future,
We are the road from the past,
We are the lines, newly written
That will point the way
To a better life!
We are the new generation
And we’re here to stay;
We are the hope for the future,
We are the road from the past,
We are the lines, newly written
That will point the way to a better life!
We’re the dreamers of dreams,
We’re the singers of songs
And we’ll carry the flame
To the place where it belongs,
So it lights the darkest corners
That our world has never seen,
So it shines beyond the farthest place
That anyone has been;
Let it break down all the walls between
Religion, creed and race;
Let it shed the light of self-esteem
On every human face;
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shed the light of self-esteem
On every human face
Let it shine!
We are the youth of the world,
We are the messengers of peace,
We are the new generation
And we’re here to stay;
We are the hope for the future,
We are the road from the past,
We are the lines, newly written
That will point the way
To a better life!
