"Mr. Songwriter (Mamang Sorbetero)" lyrics

Mister Songwriter, write me a song
Make it a short and simple melody
With words that would carry our message across
A message of peace to every country

Sing all you people all over the world
Sing out and be heard all over the world
Lay down your arms for we all belong
To one another come and sing along

Plenty of lengthy discussions among
Leaders of nation the weak and the strong
Quarrels unending, suppression of rights
We can be strong lets sing with all our might

Sing all you people all over the world
Sing out and be heard all over the world
Lay down your arms for we all belong
To one another come and sing along

We've come a long way from yesterday
We can become what we are today
A better tomorrow waits for me and for you
Why lose it now let's see our visions come true

Sing all you people all over the world
Sing out and be heard all over the world
Lay down your arms for we all belong
To one another come and sing along

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
(Everybody!)
(One more time!)
