WE CAN BE ONE WORLD WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
In the Jungles of the Mountain Young Nora loves the mountain
And the Mountain feeds the people and the Wheel keeps on turnin' REVOLUTION!

And the Wheel keeps on rollin' firmly toward Tomorrow
And the Mountain speaks clearly to the People in the Streets
And they sit and watch the Motion watch it rollin' by
Some climb aboard and roll into the Future EVOLUTION!

AND THE WHEEL KEEPS ON TURNIN'
IT TURNS AND ROLLS FOREVER
THE WHEEL IS LIFE AND CHILDREN AND IT
GOES ON FOREVER AND IT'S ROLL ROLL ROLL

WE WILL BE ONE COUNTRY WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
WE CAN BE ONE WORLD

I dreamt I was in Love again with the Lady of the Mountain
The Lighthouse Keeper's daughter the Seer of Visions and I
Smiled at the pain of our innocent past
Of Love on the wheel in the Circle at the heart of DEVOTION!

And the Wind from the Mountain blew across our love affair
And awakened the heart to the Roll of the Wheel
And the Night grew still and no wind was blowin'
I know this was the hour LIBERATION!

AND THE WHEEL KEEPS ON TURNIN'
IT WON'T GO AWAY
IT WILL NOT BE DENIED AND IT
GOES ON FOREVER AND IT'S

ROLL ROLL ROLL THE CIRCLE IS UNBROKEN
WE WILL BE ONE WORLD WE CAN BE ONE WORLD
WE WILL SEE ONE WORLD

Dreams don't die they don't wave goodbye
Unless you let them go and watch them die in fury

"Freedom is like Wheat it must be planted softly
And watered everyday and it must be protected till it
multiplies and fills the mouth of the Wind
And the hunger of All becomes invincible"

Ringing from the Mountain Fire from the Mountain
In the heart of the Volcano the Future is born

WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
AND IT GOES ON FOREVER
ROLLING TOWARD TOMORROW IN THE
STREETS OF FOREVER AND IT'S
ROLL ROLL ROLL THE FUTURE IS UNSPOKEN
AND THE WHEEL KEEPS ON ROLLING TO ONE WORLD
WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
WE CAN SEE ONE WORLD WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
