Original lyrics
ENThey tell you her pulse is weak
But you know they are wrong
It’s time to rise to your feet
Stand up and be strong
‘Cause people are dying
And war is raging ‘round
(But we know) The heartbeat of the world is strong
It’s beating loudly through her children and her songs
Find the place where you belong
To strengthen the heartbeat of the world
That inner voice is calling you
To make this world a better place
Have courage and answer the call
And help the whole human race
Hunger, disease, pollution
Will you be the world’s solution
The heartbeat of the world is strong
Let’s stop the hatred and doing wrong
We need peace to get along
And share the message of the heartbeat of the world
The heartbeat of the world is strong
It’s beating loudly through her children and her songs
Find the place where you belong
To strengthen the heartbeat of the world
