Lyrics:

(Lyrics and music by James Seals, 1980)
From the albums THE LONGEST ROAD (1980), LOTE TREE (ca. 1980) and LIFT UP YOUR
Voices and sing, vol. 3 (1997).

Strong is the light of unity. It can light the world for you and for me.
So why don't we reach out and be one planet, one people, please?
One planet, one people, please. One planet, one people, please.
Please let it be. Please let it be. Ah...

Storm clouds are comin' I can see it all. The old world is dyin', it must crumble and fall.
And from every nation I can hear the call. One planet, one people, please.
One planet, one people, please. One planet, one people, please.

There's never been a people on this earth like us,
Who stand to gain or prosper, or lose so much.
If we just reach out so our hearts can touch. One planet, one people, please.
One planet, one people, please. One planet, one people, please.
Please let it be. Please let it be. Ah...
