Lyrics

For once in my life I've got something to say
I wanna say it now for now is today
A love has been given so why not enjoy
So let's all grab and let's all enjoy

If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided

If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided

Song Production Information

Shoccho

This song wants you to sing together, instinctively in a loud voice, about the unity of youth.
In the late '70s in the U.K., many young people were dissatisfied with the society.
There were conflicts among the young people... it was a chaotic situation.
In such a time, it might have been necessary to keep singing united.
