lyrics

1. FACE TO FACE, SIDE BY SIDE

CHORUS
First face to face, now side by side,
In peace we can abide,
For together we'll stand,
and we'll work hand in hand
and we'll bring about the birth of a new day.

First face to face, now side by side,
Yes, in peace we must abide,
So together we'll stand,
and we'll work hand in hand
and we'll bring about the birth of a new day.

(1)
And that new day will have a foundation
of human rights, the whole world around;
for true peace will only come when there's dignity and justice
for each member of our human family.

CHORUS

(2)
We've been on opposite sides for a while now,
But we're finally waking up to the truth
That our differences, many though they still may be,
are far fewer than the common goals we share.

CHORUS

(3)
Instead of fighting over what makes us different,
We must fight together for our world;
Land and air, and the seas, all the animals and trees---
they need our protection and care.

CHORUS (with optional added ending, if desired:)
Yes, we'll bring about the birth
we'll bring about the birth
we'll bring about the birth of a new day!
