Hey! Don't wait! It's happening — right now! Don't wait for permission, don't wait for a sign Don't wait for the world to fall in line While everyone's arguing about what's wrong Somebody somewhere started something warm And it's growing while we're singing And it's growing while we dance Human after human — Come and see! Come and see! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! A more human world isn't coming someday The fire our ancestors lit still burns today! ALREADY BEGUN! Before our countries, before our names Before opinions, before the flags We need the same bread, we dream the same dreams We were only missing a place to meet And it's growing while we're singing And it's growing while we dance Human after human — Come and see! Come and see! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! A more human world isn't coming someday The fire our ancestors lit still burns today! ALREADY BEGUN! Belgium's here… (here!) Nigeria's here… (here!) America's here… (here!) Ukraine is here… (here!) India's here… (here!) Kenya's here… (here!) Japan is here… (here!) Brazil is here… (here!) Country after country… the map keeps growing… AND YOU? TOGETHER… (together…) We were scattered — now we're one voice TOGETHER… (together…) Not behind a chief — side by side, by choice TOGETHER… TOGETHER… Say it louder — TOGETHER! Before our countries — WE ARE HUMAN! Before our banners — WE ARE HUMAN! Before our opinions, our fortunes, our names We are the same, we are the same! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! WE ARE HUMAN! TOGETHER!
