"One World" as written by Paul Michael Barry, Mark Taylor and Lionel B. Jr. Richie....
I hear a baby crying
A sad sound,
A lonely sound,
I want to take her in my arms
And then I'll dry away all her tears
I see a boy who's frightened
A young boy
With cold eyes
I long to say you're welcome here
You can be happy now that you're home
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
Loud voices raised in anger
Speak harsh words
Such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share
So let your heart be open
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
A sad sound,
A lonely sound,
I want to take her in my arms
And then I'll dry away all her tears
I see a boy who's frightened
A young boy
With cold eyes
I long to say you're welcome here
You can be happy now that you're home
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
Loud voices raised in anger
Speak harsh words
Such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share
So let your heart be open
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you

I personally love the second verse...
But, there are a few mistakes. After listening to the song several times, this is what I found:
I hear a baby crying
A sad sound, a lonely sound
I want to take her in my arms
And then I dry away all her tears
I see a boy who's frightened
A young boy, with cold eyes
I long to say, "You're welcome here
You can be happy now that you're warm"
We're all apart of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find
Deep down inside, I'm just like you
Loud voices raised in anger
Speak harsh words, such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share
So let your hearts be opened
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
And we are one
We're all apart of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find
Deep down inside, I'm just like you
We're all apart of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find
Deep down inside, I'm just like you
Just like you
