Think of all the hearts beating in the world
At the same time
Think of all the faces and the stories they could tell
At the same time
Think of all the eyes looking out into this world
Trying to make some sense of what we see
Think of all the ways we have of seeing
Think of all the ways there are of being

Think of all the children being born into this world
At the same time
Feel your love surround them, through the years they'll need to grow
At the same time
Just think of all the hands that will be reaching for a dream
Think of all the dreams that could come true
If the hands we're reaching with could come together joining me and you

When it comes to thinking of tomorrow

We must protect our fragile destiny
In this precious life there's no time to borrow
The time has come to be a family

Just think of all the love pouring from our hearts
At the same time
Think of all the light our love can shine around this world
At the same time
Just think what we've been given
And then think what we can lose
All of life is in our trembling hands
It's time to overcome our fears and join to build a world that loves and understands

It helps to think of all the hearts beating in the world
And hope for all the hearts beating in the world
There's a healing music in our hearts beating in this world
At the same time...
At the same time

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
