United in love and freedom

we could make this world worth living in

a place where sun keeps shining

is where your happiness begins.

United in love and friendship

we'll travel horizons far beyond compare

and open the door to ev'ryone

for freedom is for all to share.

Though the road we take maybe hard to climb

together I'm sure that we will find

a guiding star way up above to help us

on our way to love.

United in love and freedom

we could make this world worth living in

a place where sun keeps shining

is where your happiness begins.

~  Drafi Deutscher - United
