Somewhere there's a baby crying
Somewhere as his father's dying
Mommy ain't got no money for buying
Food for surviving
And little baby's dying

Somewhere there's someone who's lonely
Somewhere in the world profoundly
Sad to say he's not a one and only
For there are so many
In a world of plenty

CHORUS
I've learned to love
I've learned to laugh
I've learned the truth
Within the path
Although my friends
Life soon will end
There must be something
To do for them

Somewhere there's a father teaching
Somewhere there's a youth man reaching
Take heed little ones to the old man's preaching
No more cheating
Go forth and reach in
So many lies and so many tears
Grief-stricken mamas and papas
But we know what life is
And we've got to make it
So let's join hands together
And our hearts for each other
Let's go on together
Wherever and forever

Somewhere there's a baby crying
Somewhere as his father's dying
Mommy ain't got no money for buying
Food for surviving
And little baby's dying

Somewhere there's someone who's lonely
Somewhere in the world profoundly
Sad to say he's not the one and only
For there are so many
In a world of plenty

CHORUS
I've learned to love
I've learned to laugh
I've learned the truth
Within the path
Although my friends
Life soon will end
There must be something
To do for them
