نزرع فوق كل فم بنفسجة وقيثارة
تعالوا أيها العمال
نجعل هذه الدنيا العجوز تعود نوارة
تعالوا أيها الأطفال، تعالوا أيها الاطفال
نحلم بالغد الآتي وكيف نصيد أقمارا
نحلم بالغد الآتي وكيف نصيد أقمارا
وأنتم قد ورثتم كل هذا الكون
روعته وثروته وأسراره
وأنتم قد ورثتم كل هذا الكون
روعته وثروته وأسراره
تعالوا أيها الأطفال، تعالوا أيها الأطفال
نحلم بالغد الآتي وكيف نصيد أقمارا
نحلم بالغد الآتي وكيف نصيد أقمارا
تعالوا أيها الشعراء
تعالوا أيها العمال
آه الأطفال آه
