[Verse 1: Bob Geldof]
I hear a heart beat
It's ringing out across the universe
It sounds so lost and lonely
It must come from somewhere deep inside of us
And the operator says:

[Pre-Chorus: Alison Moyet, Maria McKee & Annie Lennox]
"All is calm an' all is quiet
Close your eyes an' sleep tonight"

[Chorus: Bob Geldof, Alison Moyet, Maria McKee & Annie Lennox]
This is the world calling (All is calm an' all is quiet)
This is Earth (Close your eyes an' sleep tonight)
This is the world calling (All is calm an' all is quiet)
This is us (Close your eyes an' sleep tonight)

[Verse 2: Bob Geldof]
I'm on a train now
I'm moving through the yellow fields of rape
There's so much beauty
I wished that I believed enough to pray
Then the operator replied:

[Pre-Chorus: Alison Moyet, Maria McKee & Annie Lennox]
"Spinning 'round, you're wrapped in blue
There's no one looks as good as you"

[Chorus: Bob Geldof, Alison Moyet, Maria McKee & Annie Lennox]
This is the world calling (Spinning 'round, you're wrapped in blue)
This is us (There's no one looks as good as you)
This is the world calling (Spinning 'round, you're wrapped in blue)
This is us (There's no one looks as good as you)
This is the world calling (Spinning 'round, you're wrapped in blue)
This is us (There's no one looks as good as you)
And it goes on, and on

[Bridge: Bob Geldof]
What we gonna to do, because it cannot go on?
What we gonna to do, because it cannot go on?
So, wrap me in your arms and baby keep me warm tonight
What we gonna to do, because it cannot go on?
What we gonna to do, because it cannot go on?
So, wrap me in your arms and baby keep me warm tonight

[Chorus: Bob Geldof]
This is the world calling
This is us
This is the world calling
This is us
This is the world calling
This is us
This is the world calling
God help us
And it goes on, and on, and on

[Outro: Bob Geldof, Alison Moyet, Maria McKee & Annie Lennox]
(Where all is calm and all is quiet)
(Close your eyes, sleep tonight)
This is the world calling (All is calm and all is quiet)
(Close your eyes, sleep tonight)
This is the world calling (All is calm and all is quiet)
(You look beautiful tonight)
This is the world calling (Spinning 'round and that is you)
(There's no one else as good as you)
This is the world calling
All is calm and all is quiet
Close your eyes, sleep tonight
This is the world calling...
