Once there was a man
 
 Who had a dream of a new world
 
 No more empty words
 
 Just simple human feelings
 
 He'd lie awake at night and dream
 
 Of a new age fantasy
 
 Something to believe in
 
  
  Why? Won't somebody tell me why
 
 Doesn't anybody take the time to try
 
 To see the greatest dream will never die
 
 In the eyes of every child
  
 
 Once there was a man
 
 Who dreamed of hopе
 
 In a fair world
 
 Everyone had rights
 
 Like еach and every other
 
 He'd lie away and dream of peace
 
 In a good world, what could be
 
 No more than we can wonder
  
 
 Why? Won't somebody tell me why
 
 Doesn't anybody take the time to try
 
 To see the greatest dream will never die
 
 In the eyes of every child
  
 
 Once there was a man
 
 Who had a dream
 
 Of a new world
 
 All the people free
 
 And every life had meaning
 
 Some may say the dreams
 
 Are the gold in a rainbow
 
 But if we never took the time to dream
 
 We'd never find the answer
  
 
 Why? Won't somebody tell me why
 
 Doesn't anybody take the time to try
 
 To see the greatest dream will never die
 
 In the eyes of every child
 
 Why? Won't somebody tell me why
 
 Doesn't anybody take the time to try
 
 To see the greatest dream will never die
 
 In the eyes of every child
  
 
 Once there was a man
 
 Who had a dream of a new world
 
 Thank God some people take the time to dream
