He raised His hand & said "They'll need a place to stand" And created what we now call the land He raised His hand & said "They'll need a place to fly" And created what we now call the sky And then He gave life life to a man & a woman And said "The rest is in your hands" So many years have passed since these 2 people loved Three billion represents the children of their love Too many tears have fallen from the eyes of the people But ooo, the sun is ice Let's give Adam & Eve another chance To bring their children back together Let's give Adam & Eve another chance To show us how to love one another (Got to learn to love one another) Show us how to love one another (Got to learn to love one another) When He created all the beauty that we see I know He had in mind a better life for you & me But as we grow stronger, all people hunger Just for the right to be free Let's give Adam & Eve another chance To bring their children back together Let's give Adam & Eve another chance To show us how to love one another (Got to learn to love one another) Show us how to love one another (Got to learn to love one another)
