Today no news, no child abuse
Today no news, no child abuse
No hurricane and no great deluge
Today no dearth, the sun shines down on mother earth
I await the day everything takes a break
Twenty-four hours just for our sake
Everywhere all newsmen would be so confused
'Cause there's no news item that they could use
Today no news, no child abuse
No hurricane and no great deluge
Today no dearth, the sun shines down on mother earth
Today no fight, no national pride
Just harmony, our destiny
One day of hope, one day of endless liberty
Nobody's dying, no one's in need
Statesmen shut up! No one takes the lead
Sheiks paying for a round of oil with zest
Believers shaking hands from east to west
No children screaming, no deadly drought
No more pretences for the crowd
Just smiling faces, and ease of mind
A day devoted to mankind
No one who lies, no one who cheats
No one who tries to take the lead
Just harmony, our destiny
One day of hope, one day for free
