It's time to open your eyes
Take a look outside and all around
To North and South and up and down
The weather is right the time is here
There'll never be a better year
For brotherhood to take it's root
To bloom it's blossom to sprout it's shoot

Open, open, open your eyes
It's time to find the place to hoe
Find the place to plant your row
Where the seeds of love can grow and grow
Your heart's the perfect spot you know
It's time to clean your garden plot
Of sticks and stones and other old rot

Time to plant a brand new world
Where promises keep and paths unfurl
To young and old to boy and girl
To rich and poor to woman and man
To black and white and gold and tan
To big and little and fast and slow
Oh see how brotherhood can grow
Let the sun shine in your face
To everyone of every race

(Ooo loo do do do do)
