That we wanted to be

And it's not too late to change

 May-be you'll agree that we really ought

Verse 2

We could've been anything

That we wanted to be

Yes, that decision is ours

It's been decided we're weaker divided

Let friendship double up our powers

Ska Rhythm

We could've been anything

That we wanted to be

And I'm not saying that we should

Verse 4

Flowers of the earth

Who can even guess how much

If we try to understand

No doubt about it

 It must be worthwhile

Good friends do tend to make you smile
