Am                   Dm                   G              C 
For every child that has been born, there is a chance to shine, 
    Dm           Am           E                B7 
And everyone can have a dream until the end of time, 
   Am             Dm            G                    C 
So live for every moment as the world keeps turning 'round, 
    Dm                 Am             E 
And lift your hands up to the sky and say it loud and proud, 
             Am    D    G  Am    D    G  Am 
"I have been here, read my name, read my name!" 
  
  
                     Dm                   G              C 
For every child that has been born, there is a chance in life, 
   Dm             Am              E              B7 
To try it all and be someone with what we have inside, 
   Am                Dm                  G             C 
So don't give up and don't give in, just give it all instead, 
    Dm                Am                 E   
And raise your voice above the crowd and let them know you've said.. 
             Am    D    G  Am    D    G  Am 
"I have been here, read my name, read my name 
     F                 G 
With all I've got I've taken part, 
     E                 Am 
I've made a difference to the world, 
  F                    G       C 
I have been here, just read my name____!" 
  
  
Am         Dm           G               C 
Endlessly amazing and inventive that we are, 
   Dm               Am            E                 B7 
We dive the deepest oceans and we reach out for the stars, 
    Am                 Dm        G            C 
And one day there will be a man across the universe, 
       Dm               Am                E   
Who'll say "I come from Planet Earth" and these will be his words.. 
             Am    D    G  Am    D    G  Am 
"I have been here, read my name, read my name 
     F                 G 
With all I've got I've taken part, 
     E                 Am 
I've made a difference to the world, 
  F                    G       C 
I have been here, just read my name____!" 
  
  
Am                    Dm              G                C 
And when the darkness has to fall and comes the end of days, 
       Dm               Am             E            B7 
Then lift your hands up to the sky and say it once again.... 
E       C    F               G 
"I have been here and I have taken part, 
     E                 Am 
I've made a difference to the world, 
  F                    G       C 
I have been here, just read my name____!" 
  
  
Am        Dm           G        Am    C  
Da da da, da da da da, da da da da da da,  
         Dm     Am              E        B7              Am 
Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da da da, yea-ea-a-ea-a 
 Dm     Am   G       C            D 
"I have been here... just read my name 
Dm     Am  G       C             D 
I've taken part... reach for the stars, 
 Dm        Am G        C            D 
Across the universe... we come from Planet Earth."
