From my bench (from my bench)
I watch you laugh play and scream (ouh ouh)
Children from East and West children from North and South
The world is for you a playground
Only day and night punctuate your days
The carelessness of childhood reminds me of good memories
At this moment of life time gives way (gives way) to freedom (to freedom)
How good it is children to see you gather (to see you gather)
How good it is children to see you share
How good it is children to see you gather (to see you gather)
How good it is children to see you share
The truth of life (ouh ouh ouh) is there before my eyes
Have I gone blind ? (ouh ouh ouh) have I gone blind ?
In their hearts God laid down purity
And it's through them that our Lord sends us (our Lord sends us) his message
Brothers and sisters protect our children
These are gifts from the Almighty
Give them the education (oh oh) they need
So that they take the right path
Give them the education (oh oh) they need
So we'll help them write their destinies
Give them the education (oh oh) they need
So that they take the right path
Give them the education (oh oh) they need
So we'll help them write their destinies
